On 09/22/2023 Licensing Program Analysts(LPAs) Justeene Tamayo and Andrew Alemoh conducted an initial 10 day complaint investigation related to the allegations above. LPAs disclosed the purpose of the investigation and was granted entry into the facility by Director Patricia Jacobs. A tour of the facility was conducted, a total of 1 classroom was toured. LPAs verified a census of 30 sleeping preschool children and total of 2 Staff, along with the Director.

During initial walk through, LPAs observed staff #1 and staff #2 supervising 30 sleeping preschool children, which is complying with Title 22 regulations. During interviews with child #1, child #2, and child #3, it was revealed the children's teachers are staff #3 and staff #4 who are fully qualified teachers.

Based on the information obtained, the above allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged allegation occurred.
