On April 15, 2026, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Annelise Villa and Evelyn Chacon concluded the investigation and delivered findings related to the allegations above.

A tour of the facility was conducted, and LPA verified a census of 4 school age children, with 3 staff working under the license.

The investigation consisted of conducting interviews with the facility director, multiple staff members, children in care, and other individuals relevant to the complaint. In addition, the investigation included a review of available supportive documentation, such as incident reports, policies, and any prior records related to the individuals involved, as well as direct observations of the facility environment and supervision practices. It was alleged that staff failed to provide adequate supervision, resulting in inappropriate touching between two children in care.

During the course of the investigation, the Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) conducted interviews with children involved. Interviews were also conducted with staff members to assess supervision practices, staff awareness, and any prior disclosures or concerns. Although the allegation involved inappropriate touching, the information gathered through interviews did not yield consistent or corroborating statements to support the alleged incident occurred as described. The interviews did not provide sufficient detail or consistency to substantiate the claim, and staff members denied witnessing or having knowledge of any such incident. Based on the totality of the information obtained through interviews, record review, and observations, there was insufficient evidence to corroborate the allegation that staff failed to provide adequate supervision resulting in inappropriate touching between children in care.

At this time, it is determined that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore at this time the above allegation is unsubstantiated. No deficiency given at this time.

Exit interview was conducted with Director. The licensee was provided a copy of the appeal rights (LIC 9058) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these forms.

The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) – must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit made by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.
