13 | On 06/23/2026 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Martha Jimenez-Villanueva conducted an unannounced inspection to conclude a complaint investigation that was received on March 10, 2026. LPA met with Co-Director Macie Villegas and discussed the purpose of the inspection to deliver findings. A tour of the facility was conducted and census was taken. Children in care: 156 total, 104 preschool age children and 52 infants with 41 staff in care of children.
Information provided by the Reporting Party (RP) alleges that staff did not provide adequate supervision resulting in day care child sustaining an injury and staff allowed day care children to utilize sharp scissors.
During the course of the investigation, LPA Martha Jimenevaa interviewed the reporting party, children, staff, parents, and other involved parties, and reviewed facility and pertinent records. Interviews reveal that during a classroom cutting activity the children were using sharp metal scissors and while this cutting activity, facility staff moved from their assigned areas without coordinating visual supervision for a lapse of seconds and did not witness the incident resulting in a day care child sustaining an injury. Based on interviews and information obtained there is sufficient evidence to support the above allegations that Staff did not provide adequate supervision resulting in day care child sustaining an injury and staff allowed children the use of sharp metal scissors, the preponderance of evidence standard have been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1.
