On Tuesday, July 23, 2024, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Juvenal Moctezuma and Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Yesenia Fierro conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to obtain additional information and conclude the investigation. LPA met with Site Supervisor, Cassandra Torres & explained the purpose of the inspection. A tour of the facility was conducted, and census was taken.

During the course of the investigation, LPM and LPA interviewed Site Supervisor, Daycare Staff, and reviewed records. Based on the information obtained, it was revealed that staff #1 was provided a written warning for engaging in an interaction with a child in a manner that goes against the preschool & licensing polices. The preponderance of evidence standard to prove that a teacher grabbed a child in a rough manner and spoke to a child in a scolding tone of voice is substantiated.

Based upon LPA's records review & interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, a Type A deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
