Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gull made an unannounced visit to the home in order to complete the investigation of the above allegations. Met with Isabel Esparza, Licensee. LPA interviewed Licensee and Licensee's assistant and toured the home. Children in care were too young to be interviewed. Upon LPA's arrival, LPA observed one child napping on the couch and two children napping in Pack N Plays in the family room. One infant was awake.
Investigation included interviewing Licensee, assistant, and some of the parents of children in care; and LPA observations. Licensee denies all of the allegations. Interviews with the assistant and parents did not corroborate the allegations. Although these allegations may have occurred, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore, the allegations listed above are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.

The LIC9213 (Notice of Site Visit) was posted during the visit.

Unsubstantiated
