During LPA’s visits on 08/20/25 and on 10/07/2025, facility was observed operating within staff to child ratio and staff were observed providing adequate supervision for the children in care.

During interviews, five (5) out of five (5) interviewed staff stated that when supervising children, staff walk around to ensure that they can visually see and hear the children. Four out of four Children interviewed did not state information to support the allegation. Interviewed parents did not disclose information to support the allegation.

During record reviews, interviewed staff’s responses were consistent with the facility’s supervision policy and staff training; and the playground schedules indicated there was adequate staffing to monitor children during indoor and outdoor activities.

The Orange County Regional Child Care Licensing Office investigated the complaint alleging Staff do not properly monitor children. Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, based on observation, interviews and record reviews conducted, there was not a preponderance to prove that the allegation did or did not occur, therefore, the allegation is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.

No deficiencies cited. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Assistant Director, Sandy Salgado.
