Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Diana Sanchez, made an unannounced complaint inspection today to deliver complaint findings for the above listed allegation. LPA met with Mariela Arce and made her aware of the reason for today’s inspection. Current census is 34.

It was alleged that the facility director is not present at the facility. During the investigation, LPA reviewed staff records, interviewed facility staff and parents. It was determined that the former facility director moved out of state on March 2022 and is no longer physically present in the facility. Program Director, Nubia Soto stated that she has been overseeing the facility program; however, a record review determined she does not meet the qualifications for a child care center director.

Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.

Substantiated
