On 5/7/2025 at 8:30 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Victoria Hernandez conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver the findings for the above allegation. LPA met with Director Angel Saldivar and advised Director of the purpose of the inspection and conducted a tour of the facility indoors and outdoors. The Director and ten (10) staff and twenty (20) children were present during the inspection.

During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted with the Director, staff, and parents. The facility roster, Toddler Room #2 class records, and photos were obtained and reviewed by LPA.

It was alleged that on 02/11/2025 and on 02/25/2025, daycare child #1 (C1) sustained unexplained injuries while in care. The Director and Staff #1 (S1) denied the allegation, stating they were unaware of C1 sustaining any injuries while at the facility. S1 provided the diaper log, which contains no mention of injuries. A review of attendance records indicated, Toddler Room #2 was fully staffed on both dates in question.

Additionally, there were no "ouch" reports submitted for C1 on either day, and the weekly communication logs do not include any reports from C1’s parent regarding injuries the child may have sustained at school or home. S1 stated that prior to joining her classroom, C1 exhibited self-harming behaviors; however, since being in her care, she has worked with the child to develop and use alternative coping techniques.

LPA interviewed four (4) staff, who were unaware of any incidents resulting in a child sustaining injuries while in care. C1 was not interviewed due to lack of verbal skills. During the facility inspection conducted on 3/4/2025, the LPA observed Toddler Room #2 to be appropriately equipped and within the required teacher-child ratio. LPA interviewed five (5) parents who stated they had never seen or heard of any children sustaining any injuries while in care. Parents interviewed expressed a high level of satisfaction in the care the center and staff provide and had no concerns.

Although it was determined that C1 sustained injuries, LPA was unable to determine whether or not the injuries occurred at the facility, if the injuries were non-accidental, self-inflicted, or a result of a lack of supervision. Due to conflicting information obtained throughout the course of the investigation and no other witnesses to alleged incidents, LPA was unable to determine whether or not the allegation occurred.

Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Exit interview was conducted and the report was reviewed with Director, Angel Saldivar.

A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
