On November 14, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Bill Billones conducted an unannounced inspection to deliver findings for a complaint investigation pertaining to the above allegation submitted to the Department. LPA met with Licensee Marypaz Perez and toured accessible areas of the facility. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed the Licensee providing care and supervision to 7 children. Additionally, 2 adult assistants were present in the home.

The complaint alleged a violation of Personal Rights, specifically the allegation that staff pinched children in care. The investigation consisted of two unannounced inspections related to the complaint investigation. As part of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with the Licensee and staff (S3) during the initial inspection. LPA also reviewed the children’s roster, children and staff records, and the Guardian facility roster. Additionally, LPA interviewed parents of currently and formerly enrolled children, who revealed they are satisfied with the care and supervision being provided at the day care. No other evidence was presented during the investigation to corroborate the above allegation.
