Incident investigation·April 14, 2026

A case management inspection was conducted at the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Y. Yang in response to an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) received on March 19, 2026, concerning personal rights violations involving multiple children (C1, C2, and C3) and one staff member (S1). During today’s visit the LPA met with Center Director Nicole Del Calvo to discuss the reported incidents, gather additional information, and conduct staff interviews. The Director reported that on March 13, 2026, she was informed of an incident that occurred on March 10, 2026, in which staff member S1 denied child C1 access to the bathroom during naptime. As a result, C1 soiled themselves while on their cot. The Director stated that S1 was alone in the classroom at the time and this incident was not observed by another staff member. The incident was reported the following day by C1 to their teacher (S2), who then notified the director. Upon learning of the allegation, the Director placed S1 on administrative leave and conducted an internal investigation with the Assistant Director. Director Del Calvo further reported that on March 12, 2026, S1 pulled child C2 by the arm while on the playground to remove the child from the area, resulting in a hand shaped bruise on C2’s arm. The incident was reported to the Assistant Director after C2 informed their parent. Additionally, the Director stated that on March 13, 2026, staff member S3 reported observing S1 pull child C3 by the arm to lift the child from a bench on the playground. S3 witnessed the interaction from an adjacent playground and reported the incident to the Assistant Director. Director Del Calvo stated that she notified District Leader Lisa Sauter and submitted an electronic notification to Community Care Licensing on March 13, 2026, followed by a written UIR received on March 19, 2026. Upon completion of the internal investigation, S1's employment was terminated, and the authorized representatives of the involved children were notified. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, is being cited on the attached LIC 809-D. An exit interview was conducted, and this report was read and discussed with the center director, Nicole Del Calvo.
