An unannounced inspection is conducted today by Licensing Program Analyst Baney and Jackson. LPA's met with licensee, Dorothea Gee & Eliza Cabaltera. The purpose of the inspection is to close a complaint investigation that was originally opened on June 19, 2019. Based on corroborating statements obtained during interviews that licensee spanked children with a ruler/yard stick and used her hand to pinch and swat children in care. Licensee stated that rulers are not used for discipline, she only uses rulers at lesson time as a pointer to have children follow along on the alphabet charts that are posted . LPA deemed there is a preponderance of evidence to support the above allegation; therefore, the finding is substantiated.

Exit interview was conducted. Appeal rights provided. AB633 provided/explained. Notice of site visit posted. LPA advised licensee to go to department website www.ccld.ca.gov and view tutorial videos located on line.

REPORT MUST BE POSTED FOR 30 DAYS & PROVIDED TO PARENTS OF CURRENTLY ENROLLED CHILDREN AND PARENTS OF THE NEW ENROLLEES FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS.
