The following documents were requested and reviewed: the children’s roster and a copy of the parent handbook. LPA Laureano also reviewed staff and children’s files.

On 03/09/2026, LPA concluded all interviews with relevant parties.

Based on interviews conducted with staff, parents, and children, as well as LPA's observations during the three inspections, there was no information disclosed to support the allegations that the Licensee does not ensure children are adequately fed, that children’s diapering needs are not met, or that the Licensee does not accord children dignity in their interactions with staff or others. Therefore, the allegations are deemed Unsubstantiated. An unsubstantiated finding means that although the allegations may have occurred or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations did or did not occur.

No deficiencies are being cited today in accordance with Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations and/or Health and Safety Code.

An exit interview was conducted. A copy of this report and a Notice of Site Visit were discussed with and provided to Licensee Derick Lima.
