Complaint · December 13, 2024
ALLEGATION(S): Staff's conduct poses a risk to day care children. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS: On January 6th, 2025, at approximately 10:05 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) J.G., arrived at the facility unannounced to close the complaint investigation to the above allegation. LPA met with lead teacher, C.K. Per lead teacher, director is away for maternity leave. There are 19 children in attendance today with 5 staff including the lead teacher (4 Teachers and 1 Aide). Based on information obtained during this investigation through interviews and observation, there was no sufficient evidence to prove allegation above. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A copy of this report and appeal rights were discussed and left with lead teacher, C.K. whose signature on this form confirm receipt of the report. Notice of Site Visit was provided. Notice is to remain posted for 30 days. Facility Represenative signature on file, on original copy. No deficiencies were issued today under Title 22 Division 12 of the California Code of Regulations.
