Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) S. Mendoza-Ceja conducted an unannounced inspection to conclude the complaint. The complaint was initiated on January 12, 2022. The investigation included obtaining the child care roster, obtaining complainant's statement, interviewing Director, and some of the parents of children in care
-Complainant was not available for additional information.
- Parents interviewed indicated they are satisfied with the care and supervision their children receive. Parents also stated they provided a mask for their children. Parent interviews did not corroborate complainant's allegation.
- Director stated the children were encouraged to wear a mask indoors. The only time the children did not wear a mask was when they are napping and when they are on the playground.

The allegation is unsubstantiated, based on LPA's interviews with Director and parents of children in care. Although the allegation may have occurred, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore, the allegation listed above is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview was conducted with the Director during which time appeal rights were explained.
This report and appeal rights and Notice of Site Visit (LIC9213) were provided.

Unsubstantiated
