On August 10, 2023 at 12:45 p.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Leilani Curtis conducted an unannounced inspection to deliver the findings on the complaint allegations referenced above. Upon arrival LPA met with Director Brandy Pearce and Licensee Janet Andrade and proceeded to tour the facility. There were 47 children present with 5 staff members. Appropriate ratios were observed. Staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility.

The initial complaint investigation was conducted by LPA Curtis on 06/15/23. Throughout the course of investigation, interviews were conducted with several staff members and parents. Facility records were obtained and reviewed. Based on interviews conducted, facility staff released a child (C1) to their parent with a dirty diaper. Facility staff confirm that on several occasions staff were either sitting or walking around talking and not supervising/focusing on the children in care.

The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED, California Code of Regulations, Title 22, 101229(a) and 101223(a)(2) are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
