On 12/13/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ocegueda conducted an unannounced 10-day complaint inspection. Upon arrival, LPA Ocegueda provided identification and met with licensee Kendahl Rowe. LPA toured the home and took a census today. LPA notified licensee of the reason for the inspection today.

During the investigation, LPA Ocegueda conducted interviews of the Reporting Party (RP), staff and Licensee. Children were too young to interview. During the tour of the home, LPA observed a hall closet full of clothing that licensee confirmed belonged to adult #1. Licensee also confirmed that adult #1 lived in the home.

Report continued from previous 9099 page.

Today, the interviews and observations confirmed that that there is an uncleared adult living in the home (adult #1) and that adult #1 has provided care and supervision to children in care alone on a regular basis (exact dates unknown) when conducting school transportation to day care children. Adult #1 also does not have required CPR/First Aid training or Mandated Reporter Training. LPA reviewed requirements for adults that live in the home and/or assist with day care children. A written list of requirements was provided to licensee.

This agency has investigated the complaint allegation stating that “Uncleared adult is present and/or living in the home”. After review of the interviews and observations, we have found that the complaint was SUBSTANTIATED, meaning the preponderance of evidence standard has been met.

Per California Code of Regulation, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, the following defiecny was cited (see LIC 9099-D). A $500.00 civil penalty was assessed today for criminal record clearance violation.

An Exit interview was conducted with Licensee, Kendahl Rowe. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided to Licensee.

LPA also provided “Acknowledgment of Receipt of Licensing Form” (LIC 9224). Upon receipt, licensee shall post and provide copies of this licensing report to parents/guardians of children in care at the facility and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months.

A copy of this report shall be posted for 30 days.
