On December 20, 2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Christopher Burnias and Nohemi Sanchez arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced complaint investigation. LPA's met with Licensee Gloria Padilla. Licensee is Spanish speaking and LPA Nohemi Sanchez assisted with interpretation. LPA's took a census, toured the facility and interviewed Licensee.

During the complaint investigation, Licensee self admitted that she did place an infant in her bedroom to sleep. Licensee showed LPA a photo that she took of the child asleep in her room. The photo showed the Licensee's husband in bed with the infant asleep covered with a blanket. Departmental records show that all bedrooms of the home were declared as off limits areas of the day care home. Based on observation of the photo and information provided by Licensee, LPA determined that the Licensee placed the infant in an off limits room, and neglected to place the sleeping infant in a crib or play yard as required by California Code of Regulations.
