On 3/10/25, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Crystal Ali met with Site Supervisor Maricela Leon to conduct an unannounced case management inspection. The purpose of the case management was to follow up on unusual incident report (UIR) received 12/16/24. Incident occurred on 12/4/24 and 12/12/24, child mother contacted the director informing her of a bruise on child chest and bald spot on the child head. On 12/13/24, police arrived to facility in regard to incidents reported to them.

Upon arrival, LPA observed 8 infants and 4 teachers providing care and supervision.

During this inspection LPA completed a safety inspection of the facility grounds. UIR coincided with complaint (12/24/24). LPA concluded investigation of UIR.

CM findings are unsubstantiated meaning there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the incident occurred.

No deficiencies have been cited.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted with Site Supervisor Maricela Leon.
