During staff interviews, three out of four staff members interviewed stated that C1 had a history of aggressive behavior towards other daycare children and staff members. During daycare child interviews, two out of seven children interviewed stated that they had been hit by C1 while at the facility. During review of facility video recordings, LPA Campana observed that C1 was able to hit another daycare child multiple times before staff noticed and intervened. During review of facility records and reports, it was determined that C1 had hit other daycare children on at least one occasion prior to the 09/18/2023 incident. Based upon this information, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met and the allegation that staff do not provide adequate supervision resulting in daycare child being hit by another child is therefore SUBSTANTIATED. A Type B deficiency under California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1, is being cited on the attached LIC 9009-D. An exit interview was conducted and the report was reviewed with director, Rowena Ohly. A copy of this report, along with Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22), were provided. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. LPA observed that the notice of site visit was posted during the inspection. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
