Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christopher Bello met with licensee, Sherry Groce to close a complaint investigation, regarding the above allegations. Upon arrival, LPAs observed 11 Children. Also present was licensee’s assistant Maria Gutierrez. It was alleged that licensee did not supervise children properly allowing for daycare children to get injured. It was also alleged that licensee did not provide comfortable accommodations to a daycare child by not providing a blanket for them while the slept. Parent, staff and children interviews did not corroborate the allegations.
Sherry stated that regarding the blanket allegation, parents are responsible to provide a blanket for their child. However, she does provide them if they are available at the time.
Based on LPA investigation 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, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

There were no Title 22 deficiencies during today’s investigation. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Licensee.
