Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Randy Derraco conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to the above mentioned facility on 08/18/23. LPA was met by licensee, Maria Andrade, who guided analyst on a tour of the facility. LPA observed 5 children in care upon arrival. At 10:00 AM LPA observed 2 additional children being dropped off for care. LPA observed 2 additional adults in the home during inspection. LPA observed the home to clean and free of defects.

The purpose of this visit is to deliver findings regarding the above mentioned allegation. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA was unable to corrobarate that the licensee forces children to eat as a form of punishment. Interviews conducted state that licensee provides food for children in care and if children are unable to finish their food, the food is disgarded and children are allowed to play. 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
