On 06/15/2023, Licensing Program Analyst Katy Maestas (LPA) conducted an unannounced field visit to deliver the findings for the above allegation. LPA arrived at the facility and was met by Assistant Director Elizabeth Sandoval (D1). LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entrance into the facility.

Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA conducted a facility file review, physical plant inspections, on-site observations, and interviews. LPA reviewed and collected documentation pertaining to the allegation. It was alleged that a lack of supervision resulted in a child receiving injuries. Interviews and documentation reveal that a daycare child slipped and fell, resulting in an injury. The child in care has received injuries while at the facility; nonetheless, the injuries did not occur due to a lack of supervision. The facility was operating within ratio at the time of the reported injuries. Witness interviews reveal circumstances that do not support a lack of supervision.
