Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Melanie Otsuji arrived to the facility unannounced to conclude investigation into the above allegation. LPA was met by Director, Lily Talamantes. Also present during today's visit were 11 additional staff members and 35 infant/toddler aged children. During the course of the investigation LPA conducted interviews, made observations and conducted record review. While raisins are being served to infant/toddler aged children and could pose a choking hazard, interviews stated that children are always supervised while eating and children are encouraged to properly chew their food to prevent any choking hazards. Based on interviews conducted, the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal Rights were given and discussed. An exit interview was conducted with Director, Lily Talamantes.
