The allegation that “Lack of supervision resulting in daycare child to self-harm” is verifiable. The LPA’s investigation yielded evidence to corroborate the allegation and its associated details. Based on information obtained during LPA observation of the facility, review of facility records, and interviews with staff and parents, it is determined that the allegation is valid.

Per information obtained during interviews, it was determined that staff did not intervene when a child exhibited harmful behaviors, resulting in injury to the child. The allegation is valid because a preponderance of the evidence has been met, therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

See LIC9099-D for deficiency cited.

This report documents one Type B citation, as there is a potential risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the center director Ana Lopez. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
