The licensee denied the allegation, explaining that the alleged individuals either had a criminal record clearance or did not reside at the facility during the timeframe in question. LPA confirmed that Adult #1 (A1) and Adult #2 (A2) were background cleared and associated to the facility in 2009 and 2015 respectively. Licensee stated Adult #3 (A3) and Adult #4 (A4) never resided in the home, nor provided care to the children. A3 and A4 estimated they may have visited the facility approximately one (1) or two (2) times during 2017 – 2018, but not when daycare children were present. Adult #5 (A5) is currently residing in the facility and has been background cleared and associated since 09/09/2021. A5 denied living in the facility during 2017 – 2018.

Based on interviews which were conducted and records reviewed, LPA was unable to definitively prove or disprove that at least three (3) of the five (5) alleged adults were residing at the facility without a criminal record clearance. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Licensee, Marie Irma Flores. A copy of this report, along with Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22), were provided. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. LPA observed that the Notice of Site Visit was posted during the inspection. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
