Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On December 12, 2025, at 1:40pm Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Randy Miranda met with Transitional Co-Director Chizu Buckalew and Senior Pastor Hallie Hottle to deliver the findings from a complaint investigation for the above allegation. Present for the inspection were the transitional co-director, senior pastor, 4 teachers, 2 teacher’s aide, and 13 infants in care. Based on information obtained through interviews, record reviews, and observations, the infant center classroom was staffed with individuals who were not infant qualified to work with infants. The incident arose from a staffing situation in which unqualified staff temporarily filled in for the fully qualified infant teacher, supervising infants alongside teacher aides. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met. The allegation that the daycare had unqualified staff providing care and supervision to daycare children is SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, Subchapter 02, Section 101415(c) is cited on the attached LIC 9099D. A notice of site visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal Rights provided. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with transitional co-director Chizu Buckalew and Senior Pastor Hallie Hottle.
