On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, at approximately 9:30 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Josiah Gathing met with Program Director Alexis Castaneda for the purpose of a complaint investigation and to deliver findings. It was alleged that a staff member handled daycare children in a rough manner, the facility is in disrepair, daycare children are not being adequately fed, and facility is unsanitary. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews, reviewed documents, and made observations. LPA did not observe any children being mishandled, facility defects or sanitation issues, or inadquate food servings during the investigation. Staff, parent, and child interviews did not reveal evidence to support the allegations.
Although the alleged violations may have happened or are valid, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met to fully prove or disprove that they did or did not occur, therefore, they are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and a notice of site visit provided. Notice of site visit shall remain posted for 30 days.
