Incident investigation·April 2, 2026

On April 2, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA’S) Calloway and Avalos, made an unannounced case management inspection to the above facility and met with Rubi Trejo, facility director. The purpose of the case management was to follow up on a self-reported Unusual Incident Report (UIR) submitted to the Palmdale Regional Office on March 11, 2026. LPA’S toured the facility with the representative and observed thirty-nine (39)-day care children and six staff in active care. All adults 18 years and over have Criminal Record Clearance (DOJ) and Child Abuse Central Index Clearance and are associated with the facility. On March 9, 2026, the reported information involved a parent P1 that was not happy with the program and wanted to withdraw their child (C1) because C1 told their parent other children C2 and C3 were throwing dirt on them and according to Parent 2 (P2) the dirt throwing happened at least two times. During this inspection, LPA’S conducted interviews with relevant parties involved. LPA’S completed a safety inspection of the playground. The playground was secure there were areas on the grass where the dirt was loose and accessible but there were no hazards. Based on observation and interviews, the children were involved in play on the playground and there was not enough evidence to corroborate dirt was thrown from one child to another and the staff did not witness the children throwing dirt. This incident is Unsubstantiated meaning, the allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred. There are no deficiencies cited during this inspection. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was read, and a Notice of Site Visit, was given to Rubi Trejo, Facility Director at the facility. A Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for thirty (30) consecutive days. Failure to maintain posting may result in a $100 civil penalty.
