A follow-up unannounced complaint investigation inspection visit was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Y. Yang. LPA met with licensee Laura Brambila Gomez (S1) at 09:46am. It was alleged that a caregiver handled children in care inappropriately and that a caregiver yelled at daycare children. Specifically, it was alleged that on unknown dates, the licensee roughly grabbed children by their arm or neck and pulled their hair and yelled at daycare children.

On the initial complaint investigation visit to the facility on 08/27/19, LPA interviewed the licensee (S1) and the licensee’s assistant (S2) at the facility at 11:30am. The licensee and S2 both denied the allegations and stated that children in care are never yelled at or handled inappropriately. Licensee stated that she has never roughly grabbed a child by their arm or neck and has never pulled a day care child’s hair. Licensee stated that she does not yell at daycare children.

Licensee stated that the only time she raises her voice with the children is to get their attention. LPA observed the licensee and S2 supervising and interacting with five children. LPA did not observe any staff member yelling at or roughly handling children. During the follow-up, unannounced investigation visit to the facility on 11/06/19, LPA observed the licensee and S2 supervising and interacting with seven children. LPA did not observe any personal rights violations and did not observe the licensee or any other individual at the facility yelling at children or roughly grabbing children. Children were observed to be treated with dignity by facility staff.

During the investigation, interviews were conducted with children, clients, facility staff, and other individuals familiar with the facility (A1 and A2). LPA was unable to obtain corroborating information that the licensee yelled at daycare children and that children were roughly grabbed by the licensee while in care.

Based on available information, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. Appeal rights were provided. This report was read and reviewed with the licensee.

Notice of site visit must be posted for 30 days from today's inspection date.
