The first allegation is that facility failed to report an unusual incident which involved a child in care needing medical attention. On April 11, 2024, Licensee stated that close to lunch time one of the children in care showed signs of breathing difficulty and was coughing. Licensee attempted to contact the parents and other persons on the emergency list but was unable to get a hold of someone and was concerned for the child’s well-being. Therefore, Licensee contacted Emergency Services and the Paramedics arrived and the child was taken to the hospital for treatment. Licensee failed to report this incident to the Child Care Licensing Department as per the regulation requirement. Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, 102416.2(b)(1) Reporting Requirements), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An Exit Interview was conducted, A Notice of Site visit was given, and Licensee understands that it must remain posted for 30 days. The second allegation is Lack of supervision. Licensee stated that there have been times when her daughter helps with caring for the childcare children, but Licensee has never left the children alone at any point of time. Licensee stated other than her daughter, no one else has assisted in caring for the children. During the initial visit conducted on 04/23/24, LPA observed only Licensee present with the 5 children in care and on the visit conducted on this date 05/02/24, LPA observed Licensee and 3 children in care. From the information received through interviews with Licensee and other pertaining parties, the above allegation cannot be verified. Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the allegation did or did not occur, therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Ms. Angeles Durazo, a Notice of Site Visit posted, and a copy of this report was provided to the facility on this date and time.
