Complaint · May 20, 2025
ALLEGATION(S): Staff handled day care child in an inappropriate manner. Staff does not allow day care child to use the restroom. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On 7/30/2025, at approximately 1:40 PM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Wadhwa and G. conducted an unannounced follow up complaint investigation visit at the facility. LPAs met with Director T.W. and explained the purpose of the visit. Present during LPAs visit included 11 staff (including director), and 51 preschool children in four classrooms. All staff present today were verified to have fingerprint clearance on file. Based on LPA observations, record reviews, and interviews which were conducted, the allegations may have happened or are valid, however there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was reviewed and provided to the Director, T.W. No deficiencies were issued today under Title 22 Division 12 of the California Code of Regulations. NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS GIVEN AND SHALL REMAIN POSTED FOR 30 DAYS. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Unsubstantiated Estimated Days of Completion:
