LPA Adrian Castellon conducted a complaint investigation on this date. LPA Castellon met with assistant Cintia Aldtrete. There were 8 children in care.
On 08/27/19, the SDCCRO received a complaint report alleging that the facility 1) staff handled day-care children in an inappropriate manner, 2) staff placed duct tape over day-care child's mouth and 3) child was left in a soiled diaper for an extended period of time. A full investigation was conducted. Throughout the course of the investigation, records were obtained, facility staff, day-care parents, facility child and reporting party were interviewed, and unannounced inspections were conducted. There was no evidence or witnesses to corroborate or support the allegations and also statements obtained were contradicting. The above allegations are found to be unsubstantiated, which means that although the allegations may have happened or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove the alleged violations occurred, therefore the allegations are found to be unsubstantiated. No deficiency cited. Appeal Rights were discussed and provided verbally and in writing. Notice of Site Visit was posted during this inspection and will remain posted for 30 days.

Unsubstantiated
