Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Blanca Ruiz arrived at the facility to discuss and deliver findings of the investigation for the above allegation. Inspection was initiated by LPA Ruiz on 09/11/2023. LPA met with Assistant Director, Maria Rico to provide finding related to the above allegation. During inspection facility was toured and census was taken. LPA observed teacher to child ratio, and staff interactions with children in the classroom and on the playground. Facility serves preschool children ages 2 through kindergarten.

The following was alleged: It was reported that daycare child was left unattended.

On or about 08/2023, It was alleged that a child was observed unattended by staff. Pertinent parties reported witnessing a child pushing a vertical bar on the fence in the School Age/Preschool playground which was not attached from the bottom. Concerns of a child leaving the facility through an unsecure space between the fence bars were expressed as a sign of danger due to witness observing staff attending to crying children the day in question and not to the child pushing the bar.

LPA investigated the above allegation and gathered the following information:
On 09/11/23 and 09/29/23, LPA observed care and supervision activities at the center; interviews with children and staff were also conducted at the facility. Records were reviewed and obtained pertaining to the above allegation. A random group of daycare children were interviewed and reported being aware of the fence being in disrepair and being redirected by teachers to other activities away from the fence. Children also expressed feeling safe and cared for by their teachers. During the process of this investigation the fence was fixed. Lastly, on 10/04/23 an annual inspection was conducted as part of Community Care Licensing (CCL) facility review to address any concerns and to correct any deficiencies cited for the center to be in substantial compliance with Title 22 and Health and Safety code.

During the investigation no additional witness corroborated the observations, therefore, based on the information obtained during investigation, there is conflicting information regarding the allegation. Although allegations may have happened or are valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore allegations are deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with facility Assistant Director, Maria Rico . A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to the interior of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
