On 6/15/23 at 2:05 p.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Leilani Curtis conducted an unannounced inspection to deliver the findings on the complaint allegation referenced above. Upon arrival LPA met with Director Rebecca Jaime and proceeded to tour the facility. There were 25 children present with 3 staff members. Appropriate ratio/capacity was observed. Staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility.

The initial complaint investigation was conducted by LPA Curtis on 5/3/23. Throughout the course of investigation, interviews were conducted with several employees and several parents. Facility records, including video surveillance were obtained and reviewed. The information obtained from interviews and video were contradictory to the allegation. Based on this information, the allegation is determined to be unsubstantiated which means although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged incident or violation occurred at the facility.

No deficiencies are cited.
