During the inspection conducted on 1/16/2025, LPA spoke with one of the males who was sitting in the driveway in a small dark colored SUV who admitted to living in the home without clearances. The other male was parked outside on the street in front of the facility in a white car. LPA approached the car and male denied living in the home. LPA interviewed facility assistant who at first denied that she knew the male in the white car, but then admitted that he was her friend and that he lived in the Juan Naranjo Family Child Care. Facility assistant also admitted that she provides care for more than 8 children once per week.

Based on LPA’s observations and interviews which were conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Per California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, division 12 & Chapter 3) two (2) Type A citations are being cited on the attached LIC 9099-D. One (1) Type B citation is also being cited on the attached LIC 9099-D.

LPA Castellon informed facility assistant that this report dated 1/16/2025 document(s) (2) Type A citations which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is immediate risk(s) to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care.

Also, LPA Castellon informed facility assistant that the facility is to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 1/16/2025 that documents Type A citation(s) to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report.

On 1/17/2025 at 3:45 a.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Adrian Castellon conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to deliver the findings for the above allegations. LPA met with facility assistant Vanessa Ramos Gonzalez and advised of the purpose of the inspection and conducted a tour of the facility.

During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with reporting party, facility staff, licensee, daycare parents, children in care, and facility neighbors. The facility roster was obtained and reviewed by LPA. Due to conflicting information obtained throughout the course of the investigation and no other witnesses to the alleged incident, LPA was unable to determine whether or not the allegation occurred. Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview was conducted and the report was reviewed with assistant. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
