Licensing Program Analysts (LPA's) M. Caro and D. Campos met with Center Director Shawinder Brar for a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. Present today upon LPA's arrival, there were 8 staff members and 46 children in care. During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted, files and records reviewed. It was alleged that a staff was observed picking up a child under his arms to move them and flopped them to the ground. Interviews revealed that a staff has picked up children who were having a difficult time following directions and moving them from one area to another. A review of facility's video footage revealed a staff picking up a child and carrying them under his arms from one location to another and set them down on the ground in the outdoor play area. Based on the LPA's observations and interviews which were conducted and record review(s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division & Chapter Number (101416.5)), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
Exit interview conducted and report reviewed with Director Shawinder Brar.
