On 01/30/23 at 8:30AM, LPA Luigi Gargaro conducted an unannounced complaint finding delivery visit to the facility regarding the above allegation. During the course of the investigation, analyst conducted interviews with the facility staff, children in care and day care parents.

From the evidence gathered, it could not be conclusively proved or disproved that a day care staff member handled a child roughly. While there was testimony that cited specific incidents of inappropriate physical handling of a child in care, there was insufficient corroborative evidence to either substantiate or refute the allegation. Therefore the allegation was determined to be unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted and the report was reviewed with assistant facility director Ericka Gamez. A copy of this report, along with Appeal Rights (LIC9058 01/16), 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.
