On 07/18/23 at 10:00AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Luigi Gargaro conducted an unannounced complaint visit to the facility regarding the above allegation. During the visit, analyst conducted an interview with the licensee regarding a lack of supervision incident that occurred on 07/07/23. Analyst also interviewed one verbal child in care and licensee's assistant neice and reviewed the home set up during his visit.

Based on evidence gathered, it was determined that a lack of supervision occurred when the licensee left children in care by themselves for minutes while retreiving her own daughter from a relative who had dropped her off in front of the home. During the time in which the licensee was conducting this activity, a two and half year old child picked up a toy and struck a three and a half year old child multiple times before the provider returned to stop him resulting in injury to the victim child.

Based on LPA’s observations and interviews which were conducted and record review(s) the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be SUBSTANTIATED, California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division & 102417(a)) are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
