On 10/20/23 at 11:30am, LPA Adrian Castellon conducted a 10 day complaint inspection and delivered complaint findings for the above allegation. LPA met with assistant Director Alma Eseller and discussed the purpose of the inspection. LPA conducted staff interviews. There were eighteen day-care children present. It was alleged that Daycare child was bitten by another daycare child resulting in bruising. During the course of the investigation, two unannounced inspections were conducted. Interviews were conducted with reporting party, facility staff and daycare parents. An ouch report was obtained pertaining to the allegation.

Based on interviews conducted, the allegation is substantiated. Staff present on the day of the bite were not able to tell LPA Castellon that they witnessed the bite. As such, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Violations of the California Code of Regulations, Tittle 22, are being cited on the attached LIC9099D. Final findings delivered as substantiated, a type ‘B’ violations are being issued, as the situation may pose a risk to children in care.
