During Today’s visit LPA Lovest documented observations, conducted staff interviews and collected updated facility records.

As of 4/30/2026 a full investigation was completed which included observations, records reviews, and interviews. Based on observations, interviews, and records reviews which were conducted and recorded, there is not sufficient evidence that Staff did not prevent a day care infant from eloping from the facility and Staff left a day care infant without supervision for an extended time on multiple occasions. Although the facility was sited for co-mingling, an infant in a preschool classroom on 3/27/2026, No additional information was received or observed by LPA Lovest that infant children co mingle in childcare. Therefore, the above allegations are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that 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.

Per Title 22 Regulations and Health and Safety Codes, no citations were issued.
An exit interview was conducted, a copy of this report was read and provided to Licensee, Trina Mendoza.
Notice of Site Visit was provided and required to be posted for 30 days.
