On 10/17/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Theresa Marquez conducted a complaint inspection and met with licensees Christine Benevedes and Moriah McCoy. Assistants Savanna McCoy and Bayleigh Parra were also present.

During the course of the investigation, LPA Marquez conducted interviews including licensee's Benevedes minor child. Based on interviews with licensee Moriah McCoy, the investigation revealed that McCoy has a separate residence and does not reside at this location. However, McCoy is present during day care operating hours. Benevedes resides at this address, and has a second residence directly next door to the day care home where she stays on the weekends. There is a preponderance of the evidence to prove licensee McCoy does not live in the daycare home, therefore the allegation is substantiated.

Per California Code of Regulation Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, the following deficiency was cited (continued on LIC9099-D). An exit interview was conducted and this report was reviewed with the licensee Christine Benevedes. A copy of Appeal Rights and the Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
