Incident investigation·April 30, 2026

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Veronica Martinez Garza conducted an unannounced Case Management Incident inspection at the above facility on 04/30/26 at 08:45 a.m. The purpose of this inspection is to follow up on an incident that was reported to the Department on 04/15/26. At 08:49 a.m., LPA met with the licensee Gabrieal Pereyra who guided LPA on a tour of the facility and census was taken. During this inspection, LPA interviewed Staff 1 (S1 thru 2). LPA also obtained additional documentation pertaining to Child 1 (C1). On 04/08/26 at approx. 10:00 a.m. child #1 (C1) was playing outside in the backyard and fell. S1 assessed the child and in that moment, there was no bruising observed. The unusual incident report indicates that C1 was running and accidentally fell which caused the child to develop a minor bruise on the lower left knee. Interviews conducted with staff revealed that on 04/08/26, C1 was running while outdoors in the backyard and suddenly fell; however, there was no bruising, marks, scrapes, or blood observed. Staff revealed that the child did not cry or complain about pain after the fall and continued to engage in other activities. According to staff, C1 had been observed with shoes that seemed to fit too big because the child’s feet would come out of the shoe. Per S1, C1 began attending the facility on 04/06 and observed that the child’s shoes were too big which S1 notified the child’s parent via text message. Staff revealed that though the parent of C1 was notified of the shoes being too big the child returned the following day with the same shoes though the parent had mentioned they would provide the child with other shoes that would fit better. LPA received a screenshot of the text messages between S1 and parent of C1 regarding the fit of the child's shoes. LPA observed that the parent of C1 informed S1 that they would get other shoes that fit better.

S1 stated that the child’s authorized representative called later that day and stated that the child had a bruise on their lower knee and that the child kept complaining of pain. According to S1, the child’s authorized representative wanted to know how the child fell since there were no scrapes. Per S1, they explained how the child fell and also informed the authorized representative that the child’s parent was notified that the shoes were too big; however, the authorized representative replied that they were not made aware. Per staff, C1 fell several times at the facility due to the shoes fitting to big. Staff also stated that the child is no longer attending the facility and the last day was on 04/09. During today’s inspection, LPA toured the backyard and observed that the entire yard is cement. The floor is in good condition and there were no hazards observed. LPA advised the licensee to place a cushioning material under the small sliding play structure. LPA also observed that the sliding door in the children’s bedroom has a screen that is falling apart and the middle of the laminate floor separated. LPA provided a technical violation. At this time, the licensee is in compliance with California Title 22 Regulations. Therefore, there are no citations being issued today.
