Director was notified of the incident on 4/28/25. Upon arrival, LPAs were greeted by Director Gloria Sanchez and proceeded to tour the facility. LPAs observed a total of 65 children with the following ratios: Room 1 (toddlers) had 6 children with staff members Likaa Ali Mohamad and Yolanda "Yolle" Neal Room 2 (toddlers) had 7 children with staff members Elizabeth "Beth" Koether and Leticia Lopez Room 3 had 16 children with staff members Spencer Harris and Sawsan Abdul Amir Room 4 had 13 children with staff members Maria Garcia and Silvia Huerta Room 5 had 12 children with staff member Huda Al-Shaikhli Room 6 had 11 children with staff members Tamara Winstone and Kimberly Villa The unusual incident report stated that a staff member (S1) pushed child (C1). During this visit, LPAs interviewed children and staff members. LPAs also obtained a video recording of the unusual incident on 4/25/25. LPAs observed S1 was frustrated by sudden body movement, throwing a cot, grabbing a child's arm and rushing the children physically. Based upon video footage obtained and interviews conducted with staff and children, there is sufficient evidence that S1 pushed the child causing C1 to fall on the floor. C1 was not injured as a result. C1 was not present at the facility during the inspection today and was not interviewed. S1 is no longer at the facility. Director stated they notified parents of C1 regarding the incident. See LIC809D for Type B deficiency cited. Notice of site visit was provided and must be posted for 30 days.

This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form. DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies: Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care. Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care. PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections.
