On November 20, 2023, 2023 at 12:20 PM Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Laura Villanueva and Veronica Diaz made an unannounced inspection to conduct a Case Management-Incident visit. LPAs met with Assistant Director, Maria Cabrera and explained the purpose of the visit. LPAs conducted a tour of the facility inside and outside with Assistant Director. LPAs observed a total of 23 children under the care and supervision of 6 staff.

An incident was reported to the Department on 10/11/2023 regarding a teacher grabbing a child by the arm very roughly as the teacher was yelling at the child who tried to open a gate. A red mark was left on the child's arm and wrist. The child was crying pointing at her arm. Another staff witnessed the incident and reported it to the director. The teacher was terminated on 10/06/2023. The staff who witnessed the incident are not available due to being off. LPAs obtained contact information to follow up at a later date.

No deficiencies were cited during today's visit. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
