On 05/06/2021 at 3:00 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Dana Stevens, made an unannounced complaint tele-inspection via FaceTime application per CDPH COVID 19 guidelines. LPA met with Licensee, Sherrie Johnson to deliver complaint findings on the above allegation.

This agency has investigated the complaint alleging that Licensee is providing care in off-limit areas. During the investigation LPA interviewed both licensees and one staff, three daycare children, seven parents, an additional witness and reviewed reports from outside agencies. The Department received information that children had been observed seated at picnic tables in the garage, an area designated in this facility as off-limits for childcare. Confidential interviews revealed conflicting information. Both licensees claim that the garage is never used for childcare. All parent and child interviews corroborated the licensee’s claim, however witness stated that children were observed eating at picnic tables in the garage last summer. LPA conducted two unannounced complaint tele-inspections which included live video tours of the entire facility including the garage and outdoor areas. LPA did not observe any indications the garage or any off-limit areas were being used for childcare. Based on conflicting information received during the investigation there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation Licensee is providing care in off limits areas. Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated.
