complaint·January 3, 2024

On 10/10/23, the Orange County Child Care Office received a complaint alleging (1) licensee did not allow daycare child eat their lunch from home and (2) licensee handled child in a rough manner and (3) uncleared adult present in facility. During the course of the investigation, LPA Nunez interviewed the licensee, staff, day care child and children and parents. LPA Nunez obtained a copy of the children\342\200\231s roster. On 11/29/23, LPA Nunez interviewed parents. Parents interviewed stated they did not have any concerns with the facility. All parents stated that they have not seen any adults in the daycare other than licensee and licensee\342\200\231s helper. Licensee as S1 denied handing children in a rough manner, having an uncleared adult in the facility and stated she served C1 food provided from home. Based on LPA\342\200\231s interviews and record review, there is insufficient evidence to corroborate the allegations of (1) Licensee did not allow daycare child to eat their lunch from home, (2) Licensee handled child in a rough matter, and (3) uncleared adult present in the facility. Although the allegations may have happened or valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur; therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Licensee's daughter, Ivonne Avalos. No deficiencies cited. Notice of Site Visit was provided to licensee\342\200\231s daughter who is also an assistant, Ivonne Avalos and posted on the door. The Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 consecutive days. Failure to post will result in civil penalties of $100. The licensee was provided with a copy of their appeal right (LIC 9058 1/16) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights. Exit interview was conducted. Page 2 of 2
