On July 27, 2023, at 09:20 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Courtnee Peebles arrived unannounced to LEARNING JUNGLE ESCONDIDO (CCC) and met with director Paige Eusebio to discuss the investigative finding of the allegation listed above. On July 27, 2023 at 09:20 AM, LPA conducted a tour and census of the CCC. During the investigation, LPA conducted confidential interviews with five staff (D, S1, S2, S3, S4) and two children (C1, C2).

On July 6, 2023, a complaint was received with allegations stating the CCC staff did not provide adequate supervision to day care children. Confidential interviews disclosed that the two's classroom and the four's classroom typically combine at recess in order for breaks to be properly distributed, however on June 26, 2023, while the three's class and all teachers went inside to their respective classrooms the teachers left the four's classroom unattended on the playground.

Based on confidential interviews conducted during the investigation the allegation that the staff did not provide adequate supervision to day care children, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met and the allegations that staff did not provide adequate supervision to day care children have been made substantiated. A copy of this report and appeal rights were given and explained to Director Paige Eusebio.
