complaint·August 11, 2022

The confidential interviews revealed pertinent parties denying the allegation. There were no disclosures from witnesses of the incident that the allegation occurred. The interviews with parents and staff denied concerns regarding the care and supervision provided by the child care center. The interviews with parents and staff also denied observing staff mistreating any children in care. Per Director, the facility was notified in May 2022 that the case was closed/dismissed by the Deputy with the Cerritos Sheriff's Station. The record reviews conducted did not corroborate with the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that personal rights were violated; therefore, the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated. Appeal rights were provided and discussed with the facility representative. No deficiencies were cited. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report was provided to Director, Mary Brammer.
