Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analysts (LPA's) Melissa Guirit and Diana Campos met with licensee Melissa Allen for a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. Present for the investigation were licensee, one assistant and 7 preschool children in care. During the course of the investigation, home was toured with licensee, interviews were conducted and records reviewed. Per licensee an incident occurred when a child wandered away from the home without her knowledge. Based on the LPA's observations, and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, 102423(a)(2), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D for absence of supervision resulting in a child wandering away from the home. An exit interview was conducted with licensee, and a notice of site visit was posted.
