Present during today’s inspection was the Facility Representative/Director, Hope Flores who left at approximately 2:30 PM. Facility Representative/Support Teacher, Ellen Long guided LPA on a tour of the facility. Census was taken as follows: 39 napping children and 6 staff. A review of staff criminal records indicates all facility staff or individuals who require caregiver background checks have received a criminal record clearance or exemption and a child abuse index clearance. On 09/05/2025, the UIR was filed with the Orange County Regional Office (OCRO) to self-report an incident that allegedly occurred on 09/03/2025. Adult 1 (A1) stated on the report that Child 1 (C1) alleged Child 2 (C2) inappropriately touched C1 in the classroom. LPA received a copy of the UIR on 09/05/2025. Per the UIR, Adult 3 (A3) reported C1's sibling reported the alleged inappropriate touching to C1's Authorized Representative (AR). The AR then reported the alleged incident to the facility. The facility conducted an interview with C1 and A3. As a result of the facility's investigation into the matter, the facility decided to disenroll C2 as of 09/04/2025. On this date, LPA made observations, received facility records, attempted to interview C1, and conducted interviews with 2 staff. Due to additional information needed, the above allegation needs further investigation. Appeal Rights were discussed.
