LPA E. Laird conducted two parent interviews (P1 and P2). Of the two parents interviewed, one parent stated they had been informed by a child in care that the licensee had been observed spanking her own children in the presence of daycare children.

LPA E. Laird conducted an interview with a witness (W1). W1 stated they had observed the licensee spank her own children in the presence of daycare children.

During the investigation, children’s records were received and reviewed.

Based on the information received and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.

LPA E. Laird explained a Type A citation will be cited and shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.

LPA E. Laird further explained that a copy of this licensing report dated 1/30/24 that documents any Type A citations shall be provided to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification.

The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days.

An exit interview was conducted with licensee, Katie Perryman and appeal rights were provided.
