denied using or observing others using profanity at a child. Staff interviews reported if a child uses profanity they are verbally redirected.

Facility does not allow parents to enter the facility. It was alleged facility does not allow parents to enter indoors.

LPA toured the facility on prior visits 8/16/22; 8/18/22; 8/30/22 and 9/06/2022; and observed parents entering into the portable to pick up children or calling or texting to have child sent out the front entry for pick up.

LPA interviewed 3 staff. Staff interviews reported Facility did limit parents to the front door entry during COVID pandemic per CDPH Childcare guidance. Staff interviews reported the facility is flexible and currently allows for the following options for pick up: After parent competes sign in/out sheet, the parent can call or text to have child sent out; come to the door or enter the portable for child pick up.

Due to conflicting information from interviews and what was reported, LPA was unable to determine if Staff pulled a daycare child’s arm, used profanity or did not allow parent to enter the facility. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid there is not enough preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview was conducted, and appeal right discussed. A copy of this report, Notice of Site Visit and appeal rights were provided to the Site Director, Desiree Padilla. This report must be made available to the public upon request for three years
