Complaint · July 17, 2026
ALLEGATION(S): Staff do not apply sunblock to children in the afternoons. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On 8/14/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) L.F.D. conducted an unannounced Complaint Inspection and met with NAKIA CENTENO, Director and also informed her of today’s visit. LPA gathered a census of children in care. During the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed staff and obtained documents. It was alleged that staff do not apply sunblock to children in the afternoons. Based on interviews conducted, staff interviewed stated that sunblock application is applied once in the mornings by parents and again by staff in the afternoons prior to outdoor play. Staff further reported that parents provide sunblock for their own child. Based on interviews and available information, LPA was not able to determine whether sunblock is consistently applied to children in the afternoons by staff. Continue on Page 2.
