On 03/06/23, A case management inspection was conducted today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jose Penate. LPA met with Director, Amanda Gonzalez. LPA toured facility inside and outside. A census was taken.

On today’s visit LPA observed child #1 being brought into the common area of the facility while the other children were at outdoor play. LPA interviewed staff and it was determined that child #1 is brought into another area due to a parent not wanting child #1 near their child. LPA explained to director that the rights of the child are being violated and that she shall not be kept from activities that are allowed to the other children. LPA reminded director that the rights of all children in care are to be upheld and not be violated.

Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, deficiencies that are being cited. (See attached LIC 809-D)

An exit interview was conducted with Director, Amanda Gonzalez.

A printed copy of this report as well as appeal rights were provided to Administrator, Amanda Gonzalez at the conclusion of the visit.

A Notice of Site Visit Form was posted on parent's board and must remain posted for 30 days.
