On June 26th, 2023, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jeremey McClain and Eduardo Barragan met with licensing representative Mary Patten to deliver findings for a complaint investigation. LPAs observed the following ratios: 12 children supervised by one staff, six children supervised by two staff, 12 children supervised by one staff, and 14 children supervised by two staff.
An investigation was conducted regarding the following allegations: 1) Staff do not prevent children from being injured, 2) Facility is operating over ratio, 3) Staff yell at children care 4) Staff hit a child in care, 5) Staff comingle children in care, 6) Staff are not conducting health inspections on children, causing other children to become sick frequently.
During the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with staff, parents, and children. LPA made observations at the facility, and reviewed staff files. Based on the evidence gathered, LPA determined that the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met, therefore, the allegations are determined to be unsubstantiated. Although the allegations may or may not be true, the evidence gathered was not conclusive enough to corroborate or dismiss them.
There were no Title 22 deficiencies as a result of the investigation. LPA reviewed this report with the director and provided a Notice of Site Visit that must be posted for 30 days.
