On 06/1/2026, a complaint was filed with the Department alleging that the child was touched inappropriately by another child. During the investigation, LPA Trinh conducted a physical plant inspection and interviewed three (3) staff members and two (2) children, and four (4) parents. LPA Trinh also obtained pertinent documents.
During staff interviews, all staff members stated that they did not witness the incident. They became aware of it only after Child #3’s (C3’s) parents returned to the facility and expressed concerns regarding an incident involving Child #1 (C1). Staff Member 1 (S1) completed an incident report regarding C1 and placed it in the child’s file. The report was filed because C1 inappropriately touched another child while all children in care were on the same floor with two staff members.
During record review, the LPA obtained a written declaration from S1, who stated that the incident occurred during operating hours. S1 also noted that the children involved were old enough to communicate and explain what happened. Additionally, the LPA interviewed C1, who admitted to touching another child's buttocks near the eating table by the map on the sliding door.
On 06/24/2026, LPA called four (4) parents requesting an interview. The parents interviewed did not express any concerns about the allegations or provide any information that could corroborate them.
Based on the information gathered from LPA interviews and record reviews, it has been determined that the allegation that Child was touched inappropriately by another child. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, was observed and cited today: CCR 101229(a)(1) Responsibility for Providing Care & Supervision on the attached LIC9099D.
An exit interview was conducted with the Licensee, Weera Perera. Notice of Site Visit was posted during the visit. Licensee, Weera Perera, was informed that the notice of site visit must be posted for 30 consecutive days. Failure to post will result in civil penalties of $100.
