On 5/31/2023 LPA interviewed Reporting Party (RP). RP stated licensee had falsified attendance sheets and submitted the documents for reimbursement payments to The Department of Education for child #1 (C1) who has not attended day-care since November 2022.
on 5/31/2023 LPA interviewed the parent (P1) of C1. P1 stated C1 has not attended the day care since the last day in November 2022. P1 stated they moved out of state on December 1, 2022. LPA received messages from P1 showing she informed licensee on 11/5/2022 that C1 will not be attending the day-care in December 2022.
On 6/1/2023 licensee was interviewed and questions were translated in Spanish by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Giselle Lucero via phone call at 9:44 am.

Licensee was also asked who signed the parent signature on C1 attendance sheets for December 2022, February 2023, and March 2023? Licensee stated "I did! Im sorry, I returned the money back to the Department of Education last week." Licensee provided LPA with a copy of the check showing she reimbursed the Department of Education on 5/22/2023. Licensee provided LPA with the facility roster which shows C1 has not attended since 12/1/2022.
Based on LPA observations, documentation, interview with RP, P1, and licensee who stated she signed the parent signature section on the attendance sheets for December 2022, February 2023, and March 2023 then submitted the forms to the Department of Education for reimbursements, although C1 has not attended the day-care since November 2022, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
