Incident investigation·October 9, 2025

On 10/09/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Erica Pacheco conducted an unannounced case management inspection. LPA met with Head Teacher, Araceli Garcia, toured the facility inside and outside and a census was taken. The purpose of today's inspection is to conduct a case management inspection regarding an unusual incident that was reported to the Community Care Licensing Office (CCL)-Fresno Office that occurred on Wednesday 09/03/2025 between 10:00am and 10:15am. LPA followed up on information received by the unusual incident report stating that a child squeezed themselves through a gate and ran across the street before a staff member was able to catch up to the child and bring the child back to the facility. Through interviews conducted, it was confirmed that Child #1 squeezed through the fence and crossed a dead-end street into a neighborhood. The child did not sustain any injuries and was able to be safely returned to the facility. Based on the interviews and observation of the yard, there is sufficient information indicating that Child #1\342\200\231s personal rights were being violated as the facility did not provide a safe environment while playing in the preschool outdoor play yard. Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, of the California Code of Regulations, there is deficiency being cited during today\342\200\231s inspection. (See page LIC809-D for additional information).
