Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Michelle Hood and Office Assistant Adriana Palato completed an unannounced tele-conference inspection for the purpose of delivering the findings for the above listed allegation. LPAs met with licensee, Ignacia Ledesma. Office Assistant Palato assisted with Spanish translation. At the time of the inspection there were five (5) of children in care. The investigation was conducted by Community Care Licensing Division Investigations Branch (IB). During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted with the licensee, facility staff, daycare parents, children, and representatives from outside agencies.
Based on the information obtained, the Department determined that licensee’s spouse, Enrique Alvarado, inappropriately touched Child #1 (C1) on multiple occasions, from the age of five (5) to eight (8) years of age, which consisted of skin-to-skin contact on her breasts, genitals and buttocks. Based on interviews which were conducted and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Based on the violation, civil penalty determination is pending.
