On 10/05/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Pa Kou Vue conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to conclude and deliver findings for a complaint investigation that was initiated on 08/15/2023. LPA met with Licensee Patricia Gudino and explained the reason for the inspection and investigation findings. A tour of the facility was conducted, and a census was taken.

Based upon LPA’s interviews and informations received, it was revealed that child #2’s (C2) personal rights were violated. C2’s personal rights were violated multiple times due to C2 sustaining multiple bite marks from C6 while in a playpen located in accessible living room. Licensee stated she was in an accessible kitchen/dining room and did not witness the incident. Therefore, Licensee did not provide adequate supervision of children in care due to it happening multiple times. Based on interviews conducted, it was revealed that children’s personal rights were violated in multiple incidents.

Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, of the California Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies are being cited: (see next page, 9099-D).

Upon receipt of a Type A violation, Licensee shall post and provide copies of this licensing report to parents/guardians of children in care at the facility and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months. A copy of the Fact Sheet - Child Care Parent Notification Requirements and a copy of LIC 9224 Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Reports was given to Licensee.
