Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On Thursday, 09/04/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jesse Gardner conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection to follow-up on an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) submitted to Community Care Licensing CCL on 08/19/2025. LPA met with Director Maria Marquez. LPA interviewed the Director, and reviewed footage of the alleged incident during the inspection. On 08/19/2025, CCL received information via UIR that near pickup possibly on 08/12/2025, Child One (C1) was playing with another child, when the parent who was recording felt that C1 had been flicked by the staff in the face. There was no reaction to the alleged incident from the child concluding the gesture from staff, but the parent felt that there might have been contact to the child and reported the incident to staff. On today's inspection, LPA reviewed the video, and saw two teachers in the room, with C1 sitting in a chair, and the staff's right hand in front of the child's face, but did not see any contact made with the child. The gesture appeared as if the staff was preventing the child from moving forward in a direction toward another child. Record review confirmed that the CCC was operating within proper staff to child ratios on day of alleged incident. Based on information gathered, the CCC acted appropriately and no violations of Title 22 have been identified. An exit interview was held with Director Maria Marquez. A copy of this report was issued, along with a Notice of Site visit. This report shall be public record for three years.
