On 5/3/23 at 10:00 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Adrian Mangina conducted an unannounced inspection to deliver the findings for the complaint received on 4/11/23. LPA met with Director Ida Cross and Site Supervisor Cynthia Carrillo. Present at the facility were 38 children with 11 staff in 4 classrooms.

It was alleged that staff left child unsupervised in the facility bathroom. Based on interviews of witnesses, it was concluded that a three year old child entered a bathroom without the knowledge of staff and was left unsupervised while the parent of another child was present. Interview revealed that the child was unsupervised for a short, but undetermined amount of time. Based on interviews and documents reviewed it was determined that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence has been met, therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1 Article 6, Section 101229(a)(1).
