On December 19, 2025, at 02:00pm Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kendal Zirbes met with facility representative Julia Hajiamadi. The purpose of the inspection was to deliver the findings for the above-mentioned allegation.  During the investigation, LPA Zirbes conducted interviews with staff and completed a review of the facility records. In addition, an unannounced inspection was conducted on October 15, 2025.
On October 8, 2025, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received information that child 1 (C1) was wrongfully terminated from the program in October 2025. Interviews with staff confirmed C1 was terminated from the program on October 3, 2025. Interviewees reported C1 had a hard time adjusting to the program and the Center was not able to meet the needs of C1. Staff interviews reported that C1 authorized representatives were notified of C1 behavior verbally and via Brighwheel. On October 15, 2025, LPA Zirbes completed a review of C1s records. Based on LPA record review, C1s file did not contain a current individual written admission agreement for C1. Therefore, C1 was terminated without an agreement with the authorized representative outlining the specific conditions under which the agreement may be terminated.
