This is an amended report on 09/03/2026.

On 8/6/2026, License Program Analyst (LPA) Pa Dao Vang conducted a complaint investigation and met with Director Saira Singh and Licensee Abrica Castaneda. It was alleged that the staff does not ensure records are complete. There are 9 infants, 12 toddlers, and 18 preschoolers supervised by 9 staff members.

Throughout the investigation, LPA made observations, conducted an interview, reviewed files, and gathered documentation. LPA observed children being dropped off in the mornings as staff show up for their shifts. LPA also reviewed the staff’s work schedules and the daily activities for the classrooms.
On 7/20/2026 at 9:23 AM, LPA observed the infant classroom split into two different groups as S9 and S10 transitioned into the infant outdoor yard with 6 infants. S4 went on a break and S5 supervised 3 infants in the classroom. The Director stated that S9’s first day was on 7/20/2026 and did not submit the LIC503 Health Screening and immunization for the personnel file prior to employment.

This is an amended report on 09/03/2026.

LPA reviewed 2 out of 4 staff’s files missing the flu, Mandated Reporter Training, and immunization prior to employment, including S9’s file. Through S9’s interview, it was confirmed that they did not submit the required documents the employment.

Based on observations and interviews, the preponderance of evidence results in substantiating the allegation a facility staff does not ensure records are complete. This posed as a risk to the daycare children while in care.

A Title 22 deficiency is being cited on LIC 9099-D pages. An exit interview, appeal rights and a notice of site visit were provided to Director Saira Singh. A Notice of Site Visit posted. Failure to comply with posting requirements can result in a $100 penalty.
