On 02/27/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Valerie Mireles conducted an unannounced complaint inspection. LPA met with Director Carissa Cederblom and a census was taken. The purpose of the inspection was to deliver the findings for the above complaint allegation. This agency investigated the complaint alleging, “Staff handled day care child in a rough manner.” During the course of the investigation, LPA reviewed documentation pertinent to the investigation, interviewed the Complainant and day care staff. Based on staff interviews, Staff #5 escorted Child #1 by the wrist to prevent Child #1 from hitting, fleeing, and while Child #1 was pulling away. This resulted in redness to the child’s wrist. Children need to be in a safe, healthful, and comfortable environment. This poses a potential health and safety risk to children in care. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, this deficiency is cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview conducted with Director Carissa Cederblom. A copy of this report and Appeal Rights were provided and discussed. A Notice of Site Visit Form is to be posted to parent's board and must remain posted for 30 days.
