On 11/16/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Beneroso and OA Briseno conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver findings on the above allegations. LPA met with licensee, Rennie and toured the facility. Upon arrival LPA observed 4 children and Licensee proving care and supervision.
During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with parents, children, and licensee. LPA gathered relevant information related to the complaint. The evidence gathered revealed the following:

Allegation One: Based on LPA’s observations and interview, it was determined the facility is using a room that is primarily used for storage as a space for an infant to nap in a playpen. There were no infants sleeping in the room at the time of inspection, however, licensee disclosed the room being used for infants to nap in. There is a potential for shoes to fall off the racks since they are not properly secured. This represents a potential health and safety risk for children in care.
