In interviews with parents, Parent #2 expressed concern that the facility staff may not be paying attention to all children and not witnessing or taking serious some incidents that include bullying or physical altercations. In interview with Parent #6 and their child, Child #2, it was revealed that Child #2 has been in altercations with other children that were not reported by the facility to Parent #6. It was also revealed through document review Child #1 was seen by a physician and the diagnosis given to Child #1 was "abrasions noted to the abdomen chest area on both sides...in the anterior axillary line over the first rib margin." It was determined this incident did occur at the facility resulting in injury to Child #1, and the concern of Child #1 to a teacher was not properly addressed or reported to a supervisor or Director, which violates the Personal Rights of Child #1. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and the allegation is found to be Substantiated. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, a type B deficiency is cited during this inspection (See LIC 9099-D for further). An exit interview conducted with Director Kristina Vargas. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided. This report and a Notice of Site Visit shall be posted to parent's board and must remain posted for 30 days. This document (LIC 9099, LIC 9099-C, and LIC 9099-D) was amended on 03/30/2022 (See Case Management inspection report dated 03/30/2022).
