During the interviews conducted there were no corroborating statements made during the interviews. Children interviews stated that no one other than Licensee and assistant are always home. LPA did not observe any open or closed alcohol containers during all 4 visits. LPA J.Duran observed both Licensee and assistant to be present during all 4 visits at different times of the day. LPA observed NO alcoholic containers on the premises during all 4 visits. LPA observed assistant to not be impaired or have any alcohol scent during all 4 visits.

This agency has investigated the complaint alleging Licensee allowed an uncleared adult to provide care and supervision to day-care children and adult in home is providing care and supervision to day-care children while under the influence of alcohol. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

No deficiencies were cited today.

Exit interview was conducted with Licensee Sahara Hernandez.
