On February 5, 2026 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Giovani Gonzalez conducted an unannounced inspection at the above-mentioned Child Care Center (CCC) to conclude a complaint investigation. LPA met with Executive Director Teresa Alvarez and informed them of the purpose of the inspection. At the time of the inspection 56 children were present.

The allegation of Personal Rights - Staff handled child roughly could not be corroborated. Interviews with staff revealed they have not witnessed any staff handling children roughly. Additionally, parent interviews did not reveal any concerns of children being handled roughly.

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

Report was reviewed with Executive Director Teresa Alvarez. Notice of site visit and appeal rights were given.

Unsubstantiated
