Upon arrival, LPA met with Maria Garcia (Assistant Director), Ana Gamino (Education Coordinator), and Alicia Lomeli (Director). The purpose of the visit was explained. LPA observed XXX children in care. The facility was operating within its licensed capacity and maintaining appropriate staff-to-child ratios. This inspection was conducted to address a reported incident that occurred on June 30, 2025, involving a child who exited the facility unsupervised. LPA Perry conducted interviews with staff who were present at the time of the incident. Written declarations were obtained. An interview was attempted with the parent, and other pertinent documents obtained, video footage and photos were reviewed and obtained during the investigation. LPA Perry reviewed video footage of the incident involving Child #1. The footage shows Child #1 seated on a small, child-sized blue couch located in the classroom. Staff #2 is observed walking past Child #1 and exiting through the back exit door. Although the video does not capture Child #1 physically exiting through the door, it does show that just seconds after Staff #2 leaves, Child #1 stands up, walks toward the exit door, and steps out of view. Approximately one minute and eight seconds later, Staff #3 appears in the video. Staff #3 is seen and heard calling out for Child #1, then walking toward the exit door. Upon getting to the door, Staff #3’s body language indicates that Child #1 has been located outside. Staff #3 then brings Child #1 back into the classroom. Additionally, Staff #4 is not observed in the video footage, as she was changing a diaper in another corner of the room that is not visible to the camera. Per staff interviews, all staff confirmed that Child #1 was found outside the door due to the gate not being latched and unsupervised. Staff #2 stated, “I left it open. I didn’t shut it behind me or latch it. I didn’t secure it,” explaining that they distracted and did not properly close the gate when she exited.

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.
