On July 23, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Beneroso conducted an unannounced case Incident inspection and met with site supervisor Cassie Salinas. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility. There were 34  children present and  9 teachers providing care and supervision.

The incident report indicated that on 06/25/2024, close to morning drop off time, in classroom #124, Staff #1 forcefully grabbed Child #1's left forearm when child #1 was not following Staff #1's verbal directions of putting the toys away.
