On 2/29/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hanson Leong conducted an unannounced case management visit to the child care center listed above. The purpose of the visit was to investigate an incident that occurred on 1/22/2024 involving a child (C1) and two staff members (S1 & S2). During today\342\200\231s visit, the LPA met the facility representative, Sheila Vicente. The facility representative was informed of the reason for today's visit by the LPA. During today's visit, eleven preschool-aged children were present in the center. Present in the center with fingerprint clearance included the four staff members. The center is operating within its capacity and in accordance with the required ratio of staff to children. Following the incident, S1 and S2 were placed on administrative leave by the licensee's Human Resources (HR) department. Based on a review of S1 and S2\342\200\231s emails, the LPA found their HR department completed an internal investigation and their HR could not validate the allegation involving C1. Both S1 and S2 have since returned to work. After reviewing the information from today's visit, the LPA will close out the incident that took place on 1/22/2024. No deficiencies were issued today during LPA's visit. A copy of today\342\200\231s report was given to Sheila Vicente. A Notice of Site Visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
