On 07/10/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Soleil Marx met with Director, Shannon Null, for the purpose of delivering findings for a complaint investigation pertaining to the above allegation. The purpose of today's inspection was explained. The complaint allegation was investigated by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) Investigations Branch (IB) by Investigator V. Moleski. Throughout the course of the investigation interviews were conducted with staff, children, and parent/guardians, observations were made, and records were obtained and reviewed. The investigation concluded there was insufficient corroborating evidence obtained to support the allegation, and the preponderance of the evidence standard was not met to establish that the alleged incident occurred. Although the allegation may have occurred or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Director. Appeal rights were provided. A Notice of Site Visit was issued and shall remain posted for 30 days.
