On August 8, 2025, at 09:40 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Courtnee Peebles met with Assistant Director Vanessa Rivera to deliver the final investigative findings regarding a complaint received by Community Care Licensing (CCL). The complaint, submitted on July 1, 2025, alleged that staff at the child care center (CCC) failed to move an infant, identified as Child #1 (C1), to a crib after falling asleep, specifically stating that the child was left "slumped" over asleep on a Boppy pillow.

As part of the investigation, LPA Peebles conducted a tour and census of the facility on July 7, 2025. No immediate health or safety hazards were identified during the visit. The investigation included a review of facility records, collection of relevant documentation, and confidential interviews with staff. Interviews revealed that the center utilizes three Boppy pillows and one round blue chair to support infants during transitions and diaper changes. Staff confirmed that on July 1, 2025, C1 was observed asleep on a Boppy pillow. Staff interviews revealed the child had fallen asleep for no more than three minutes while other infants were being changed. One staff member reported observing C1 fall asleep and stated that

the child was picked up approximately two minutes later.

Staff acknowledged that infants may occasionally fall asleep briefly on a Boppy pillow while waiting to be transferred to a crib but emphasized that they are never left to sleep there for extended periods. Furthermore, staff demonstrated a clear understanding of safe sleep regulations as required.
Based on the evidence gathered, while the incident may have occurred as described, there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that C1 was left asleep on the Boppy pillow for an extended duration. Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted with Assistant Director Vanessa Rivera, and the report was reviewed. A Notice of Site Visit was issued and must remain posted at the facility for 30 days.
