On 04/27/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ka Vang conducted an unannounced inspection to conclude the complaint investigation that was submitted on 03/17/2026. LPA met with Site Supervisor Stephanie Segovia and explained the purpose of today’s inspection was to deliver the investigation finding. A tour of the facility was conducted, and a census was taken.

Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA conducted two inspections and observations of the facility, reviewed records, and obtained copies of facility documents. LPA also interviewed the Licensee, staff members, and other involved parties. The investigation revealed that there were instances in which children ran toward the classroom doors and attempted to open them to enter the lobby; however, staff prevented the children from leaving the classroom as supervision was maintained. Records documented that when children attempted to leave the classroom and staff intervened, staff sometimes sustained minor injuries from the children as they wanted to leave the classroom. These minor injuries have since been addressed.

Per interviews, there were occasions when children left the classroom and entered the lobby but were unable to exit the internal building, as staff followed and prevented the children from leaving the lobby or the facility ground. Interviews disclosed that children were observed to be in the parking lot; however, these instances occurred during pick-up times, as parents had already signed the children out of the facility and were responsible for escorting their children from the facility to their vehicles in the parking lot.

Although the alleged violation may have occurred or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1 of the California Code of Regulations, no deficiency is cited during today’s inspection.

Site Supervisor was provided with a copy of appeal rights. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Wendoli. This report shall be made available to the public upon request. LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit is provided and required to be posted for 30 days.
