On January 29, 2024 at 1:45 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Laura Villanueva, conducted an unannounced inspection of Catalyst Kids-Green Valley Child Care Center (CCC) to deliver the finding with respect to the allegations noted above. LPA met with Eudulia Lopez Lia, Master Teacher of the CCC and explained the nature and purpose of the investigation. LPA observed 34 children were present at the time of the inspection, along with 9 staff members.

The investigation included two site inspections, document obtained and interviews with the Complainant, Site Supervisor, staff as well as the parents of children in care. Interviews, documents obtained as well as LPA's observations did not corroborate the allegations of day care child sustained an unexplained injury.
Although the child had a streak of redness on the neck, the investigation was unable to corroborate the sustained the injury while in care. The reporting party stated the child did not require medical attention, and was not taken to the hospital for medical treatment and was unable to provide a case number for the police report filed.
