On 10/27/23 @ 8:05AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nancy Diaz conducted an unannounced inspection to deliver the findings to the above allegations. A tour of the facility was conducted with Celene Marin, Site Director. Upon arrival, LPA observed 23 children with staff Destinee Simmons, Camille Hornik and Kathera Olomi. At 9:20AM, LPA observed a total of 41 children. Appropriate staffing ratio were observed.
It was alleged that an unqualified staff was left alone with children and that a day care child sustained injuries due to staff neglect. Throughout the course of the investigation, records were obtained, facility staff and day-care parents were interviewed, and unannounced inspections were conducted. There were no evidence or witnesses to corroborate or support the allegations. The above allegations are found to be unsubstantiated, which means that although the allegation may have happened or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove the alleged violations occurred. No deficiency cited. Appeal Rights were discussed and provided verbally and in writing. Notice of Site Visit was posted during this inspection and will remain posted for 30 days.
