On 09/25/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lady Cabrera conducted an unannounced complaint inspection at the facility to deliver the findings regarding the above listed allegation. LPA Cabrera toured the facility. LPA met with Facility Representative (FR) Rebecca Jarrett and Owner Shannon Grant.

During the investigation, LPA collected facility records and conducted interviews with staff, children, and parents.

Based on interviews, witness statements, and observations, there were conflicting accounts regarding whether Staff 3 yelled at Child 1 on 07/27/2026. A witness reported that Staff 3 was yelling at the children. Staff 3 stated that they used a firm and stern tone in response to Child 1 pulling down their pants and underwear, exposing half of their buttocks in front of Child 2. Children interviewed did not provide statements that corroborated the allegation. Additionally, no other witnesses observed Staff 3 yelling.

Due to the conflicting statements, LPA was unable to determine whether Staff 3’s tone rose to the level of yelling or whether it remained firm but appropriate. Although the incident occurred, there is not enough evidence to determine that a violation of personal rights occurred. Based on the information obtained, the evidence is insufficient to support that yelling occurred.

Based on the investigation, the allegation is determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. This means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the violation occurred.

Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, no deficiency is cited during today's visit. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Facility Representative Rebecca Jarrett.

This report shall be made available to the public upon request. LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit is provided and required to be posted for 30 days. Appeal rights were provided to Facility Representative.
