Based on the investigation conducted and interviews led, there is not enough information to prove or disprove that staff forced daycare children to nap or that staff violated the children’s personal rights. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

No deficiencies were cited during today’s visit in accordance to the California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1.

Upon on receipt of this report, the Director shall post the Notice of Site Visit. The Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 consecutive days. Failure to maintain posting as required, will result in an immediate $100 civil penalty.

An exit interview was conducted, and report was reviewed with Director - Dana Davis. A copy of this report and appeal rights were discussed and left with the Director, whose signature on this form confirm receipt of these documents.
