On 3/16/2020 at 4:15 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joleen Kenney conducted an unannounced complaint inspection and met with the Licensee, Amani Bass. It was alleged that the provider did not pick up a day care child from school in a timely manner. LPA Kenney discussed the allegation with the Licensee and the Licensee confirmed that she did not pick up the day care child (C1) on one occasion because the Licensee forgot how to get to the school because transportation had not been provided on a regular basis. The Licensee was also late picking up the same day care child on another occasion because she had vehicle problems. LPA Kenney explained to the Licensee that this is a personal rights violation. LPA Kenney informed the Licensee that she needs to notify the child's parent when she is not going to be able to pick the child up from school on time prior to school dismissal so other arrangements could be made.

Based on LPAs interviews which were conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1, are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.

Substantiated
