Interviews were conducted with pertinent sources that had been present at the facility on 12/23/2025 and no disclosures were made of a child being inappropriately touched or having knowledge of any inappropriate behaviors involving day-care children. There were no witnesses and the person in question provided little information regarding the allegation. The adult in question denied the allegation and denied assisting with the day care children. However, the adult/person in question had been at the facility when children were present and/or asleep. Although the presence of the adult in question, at the facility, during the hours of operation was corroborated during the interviews conducted in the investigation, there were no witnesses to confirm the allegation. There were inconsistent statements gathered during interviews with pertinent individuals.

Licensee denied allegation ever occurring at their facility.

Based on the information obtained, and although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Licensee Martha Escobar.

Please note that all information provided in the report(s) was translated in Spanish.
