Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeanette Sanchez met with Administrator Daniel Espinosa in the Riverside South East Child Care Office to close out the complaint.

On 11/12/21, the Department received a complaint that a child was inappropriately touched by another child. During the investigation, LPA spoke with children and staff, reviewed files and observed children. Confidential interviews disclosed conflicting accounts of what transpired between children. An Unusual Incident Report (UIR) received from the facility on 11/10/21 as well as some interviews, shared that a verbal incident occured on the playground. However, other interviews disclosed that a physical incident occured in the classroom. Based on the interviews, both locations were under adequate supervision.

While it has been established that the children had some type of interaction, it cannot be determined if a child was inappropriately touched by another child or that an incident occurred due to lack of supervision. Therefore, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, and the allegation is unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted. The appeal rights were discussed and provided along with a copy of this report to Administrator Daniel Espinosa on this date.
