The Department investigated the allegation and determined that an adult in the home, Harry Goularte, sexually abused C-1 while in care. Licensee was notified that Harry was served with an immediate exclusion order on February 28, 2022. Per the Licensee, facility is not currently operating. Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED, meaning the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.

Licensee is informed to provide a copy of this licensing report documenting a Type A deficiency to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled child’s parent/guardian for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be place in the child’s file for verification.

As a result of this inspection, a Type A deficiency was issued. A Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) was provided and must be posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Department requests that the Licensee sign and return the LIC 9099 and LIC 9099-D page by Friday, October 14th, 2022. Documents should be sent to the San Jose Child Care Regional Office located at 2580 N. First Street, Suite 300, San Jose, CA 95131.
