On 2/3/25, at 3:15 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Adrian Castellon conducted an inspection to conclude the complaint investigation regarding the above allegations. LPA advised Licensee Maria Mendoza Hererra of the purpose of the inspection and was granted facility entry. LPA attempted children's interviews on this date. It was alleged that licensee hit child. During the course of the investigation, two unannounced inspections were conducted. Interviews were conducted with staff, children in care and day-care parents. LPA Castellon interviewed child involved in the complaint llegation. Due to conflicting information obtained throughout the course of the investigation, LPA was unable to determine whether or not the allegation occurred. Interviews conducted could not cooroborate the allegation through interviews conducted. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with site supervisor. A copy of this report, along with Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22), were provided. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
