On 07/31/2025 at 11:31AM PST, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Seena Parsapour and Shane Loftus made an unannounced inspection of the aforementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH) in order to initiate an investigation of the above allegation. LPAs met with Blanca Silva, Licensee of the FCCH, and explained the nature of the inspection. LPAs note five (5) children are on site at the time of the inspection.
The investigation included observation and interviews of the Complainant and Licensee. LPAs note children in care were not interviewed.

The allegation of the complaint states that the Licensee failed to ensure the fence of the FCCH is in good repair. The investigation revealed corroborating information regarding the allegation. Namely, LPAs observed an opening in the fence where wooden slat(s) were missing. The missing wooden slat(s) & corresponding gap in the fence are visible from outside of the backyard, whereas inside the backyard, the gap is obscured by trees/bushes. (CONT. 9099, Page 2)
