On 06/28/2022 at 9:50 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Monique Ayala conducted an unannounced inspection at the facility noted above and met with Director, Maria Olmedo. The purpose of the inspection was to deliver the complaint investigation findings for the allegation noted above. At the time of the inspection, no children were present due to the facility currently being closed for the summer.

During the course of investigating the allegation, LPA conducted record reviews and confidential interviews. LPA attempted to contact the complainant numerous times. LPA also attempted to contact the alleged victim and their parent/guardian but was unsuccessful. On 04/21/2022, LPA conducted interviews with the Director, Teacher (S1), two Teacher Assistants (S2 and S3), and three children (C2, C3, and C4). LPA also attempted to interview other children at the child care center however, the children had already left for the day.

LPA obtained records from the child care center, which consisted of an Unusual Incident/Injury Report (LIC 624) that contained information related to the allegation and was submitted to the Department on 04/19/2022. LPA also contained a copy of the police report from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

The confidential interviews revealed pertinent parties denying the allegation. There were no disclosures from staff or children that the alleged incident occurred. The interviews denied concerns regarding the care and supervision provided by the child care center. The LIC 624 was submitted to the Department as required by Title 22 regulations. Based on conflicting statements and no injuries observed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff, it was determined by the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department that no crime was committed at the facility. The record reviews conducted did not corroborate with the allegation.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that personal rights were violated; therefore, the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated.

Appeal rights were provided and discussed with the facility representative. No deficiencies were cited. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report was provided to Director, Maria Olmedo.
