On 05/02/2025, at 12:30pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christina Uribe conducted an unannounced visit for the purpose of investigating a complaint for the above allegation of a personal rights violation. LPA met with director, Martha Sanchez. Present during the time of today’s inspection was 85 children and 11 staff.

This agency has investigated the complaint allegation that facility staff are not preventing day care children from engaging in inappropriate behaviors towards other children. During the course of the investigation, LPA Uribe conducted interviews with involved parties and potential witnesses, collected relevant documents, and made observations. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Notice of Site Visit was given and must be posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the director, Martha Sanchez.
