On 07/30/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ka Vang conducted an unannounced inspection. The purpose of today’s inspection was to deliver the findings regarding the above listed allegations. LPA met with Site Supervisors Stephanie Segovia and April Cox. A tour of the facility was conducted, and a census was conducted.

During the investigation, LPA conducted facility inspections and observations, interviewed staff members, reviewed records, and obtained copies of facility documents. The evidence obtained revealed that staff were co mingling preschool and school age children during the morning drop off period and at the end of the day during parent pick up. During both the morning and afternoon periods, preschool and school age children were being cared for in the preschool classroom. In addition, the investigation revealed that staff were operating out of ratio during the morning drop off period.
