On 10/30/20 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Carrie Wisehart conducted a subsequent complaint investigation inspection to the facility via tele-inspection due to the current state of emergency regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, for the purpose of delivering complaint findings. It was alleged that the licensee failed to report suspected abuse of a child, specifically regarding an incident that occurred outside the day-care home.
The licensee was interviewed on 8/11/2020 and stated that on July 13th, 2020 that child (C1) was not brought to day-care, though a sibling was. The licensee stated that when she spoke with (C1)’s authorized representative, they acknowledged an incident occurred outside the day-care on July 12, 2020 where (C1) received an injury. The licensee stated on July 14, 2020 when (C1) was brought to day-care around 7:30 am, the licensee observed a bruise on the left side of (C1)’s face extending from the ear to the eye. The licensee stated she was not the first to see (C1)’s injury and had confirmation that it had been reported in the afternoon to local authorities on July 14,2020, though not to licensing.

Through interviews and record reviews, LPA Wisehart was able to determine an incident did occur outside the day-care home that threatened the health and safety of (C1). The LPA determined the licensee failed to notify the Department of the suspected child abuse as required.

Based on the evidence obtained, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Appeal rights were provided and exit interview conducted. The LIC 9224 was provided and discussed with the licensee. The Notice of Site Visit must be posed for 30 days.
