Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christopher Bello met with Director Maria Melgoza to continue and close a complaint investigation, regarding the above allegation. Upon arrival, LPA observed 28 Children. LPA made observations, gathered documents pertaining to the investigation and conducted interviews. It was alleged that a staff member pulled a daycare child by their hair, pulling some out in the process. The facility self-reported the incident. Observations and interviews did not corroborate the allegation.
Based on LPA’s investigation although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

No Title 22 Deficiencies observed in the areas that were evaluated. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director Maria Melgoza.

Unsubstantiated
