An investigation was conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and a Community Care Licensing Investigations Bureau (CCL IB) investigator. Interviews were conducted with the facility staff, children, parents and LAPD Officers.

IB Investigator verified that C1 was enrolled in and attending the home day the date of the incident. Throughout the course of the investigation, documentation in the form of a Child Care Facility Roster, a Suspected Child Abuse Report, a Los Angeles Police Department Injury Investigation Report, medical records, video footage, screen shots of text messages, copies of the records of C1, and photographs were obtained.

Per Reporting Party, C1 sustained extensive bruising on several occasions at the day care and had blood in the genital area on one occasion.

Staff interviews disclosed that on or around June 26, 2025, C1 fell from a ride-on toy and sustained a “bump” to the forehead, no open wounds or bleeding, and that the parents of C1 were notified of the incident. Per staff, physical discipline is not used at the daycare facility.

C1’s parents corroborated that they were notified of the 06/26/25 incident. Per C1’s parents, C1 was always happy to see licensee. Concern about licensee’s care giving practices were noted, as licensee often appeared rushed and overwhelmed due to being responsible for too many children on her own.

No disclosures were made by any of the children interviewed.

Based on record review and interviews conducted, the allegation that “Day care child sustained unexplained injuries in care” has been determined to be Unsubstantiated. A finding of Unsubstantiated means that the allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Licensee, Maryam Danbali.
