During several interviews in regard to a complaint investigation dated 1/25/24, it was revealed that an adult#1 is not cleared to be in the facility is a familiar helper with the children in care. Confidential interviews with six out of nine children disclosed that Staff #6 (S6) plays with the children during day care hours.

On December 29, 2023, a letter was mailed to licensee informing that S6 must obtain a California clearance, or a criminal record exemption as required by the department and proof was to be provided by 1/13/24 as of today there are no updated records.

Based on interviews, and record review this agency has investigated the case management in an appeal process, and the allegation that an uncleared adult has been involved in the facility while children are in care, was unfounded, and the allegation has been dismissed.
