During the staff interviews, Staff #1 (S1) denied ever signing in children when they were absent. S1 stated using the cameras to account for the children’s hours. S1 denied falsifying subsidy program attendance documentation . Staff #2 (S2) stated that S2 is not involved at all in the paperwork. LPA attempted to interview 3 children, but the children did not qualify.

Six parents were called to be interviewed, LPA was able to interview four. Four out of four parents interviewed had no issues or concerns with the daycare.

LPA obtained multiple screenshots from the reporting party, one screenshot showed on 5/26/2026 the RP informed S1 that the two children would not be attending daycare that day. Then S1 asked the RP if S1 can still sign them in. LPA also received two copies of the May 2026 “Calworks Child Care Reimbursement Reports” for C1 and C2. Upon reviewing the report, it indicated that on “05/26/2026” C1 and C2 were signed in the daycare by S1, S1 claimed the two children attended the daycare when they were actually absent.

Based on LPA’s interviews and record review, the preponderance of evidence has been met; therefore, the allegation of Licensee asked mother if they can sign the children in when they were absent was found to be Substantiated. Health and Safety Code Section 1596.885(c)- Conduct Inimical is being cited. See LIC9099D for deficiency cited.

Exit interview was conducted, and report was reviewed and discussed with Licensee, Anya Nanayakkara. Notice of Site Visit was posted during the visit. The facility representative was informed that the Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 consecutive days. The facility was provided a copy of their appeal rights (LIC 9058 12/15) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights.

During the course of investigation, LPA interviewed 2 staff members, 4 parents; LPAs attempted to interview 3 children but 3 out of 3 children did not qualify to be interviewed.

Regarding the allegation, Staff forced children to nap. S1 denied forcing children to nap and stated if children can’t sleep, they can lay on their mat quietly and they fall asleep but that’s for the little kids, the older kids can sleep or not sleep. If they don’t want to sleep, they can do their homework or S1 give them things to work on. S2 denied forcing children to nap, in regard to school-age children S2 sets up the mat if they want to sleep, they can or they do their homework or do work at the tables. LPA attempted to interview 3 children, but the children did not qualify for interviews. 4 of 4 parents interviewed made no disclosures supporting the allegation.

Regarding the allegation, Staff yelled at children when they did not take a nap. S1 denied forcing children to nap and stated if children can’t sleep, they can lay on their mat quietly and they fall asleep but that’s for the little kids but older they can sleep or not sleep. If they don’t want to sleep, they can do their homework or S1 give them things to work on. S1 denied yelling at children to nap and denied yelling overall, S1 speaks loudly to get children’s attention but not in a harsh tone. S2 denied yelling at children and denied observing S1 yell at children. LPA attempted to interview 3 children, but the children did not qualify for interviews. Four of four parents interviewed made no disclosures regarding the allegations.

During the inspection, LPA Valdez Santana did not observe staff speaking in harsh tones to the children. Additionally, there is a room (not entirely enclosed that has tables for older children to do table work should they decide not to nap. During the course of the investigation LPA obtained a copy of the Children's Roster.

Based on LPA’s interviews and record review, there is insufficient evidence to corroborate the allegations of Staff forced children to nap and Staff yelled at children when they did not take a nap. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur; therefore, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Exit interview was conducted, and report was reviewed and discussed with Licensee, Anya Nanayakkara. Notice of Site Visit was posted during the visit. The facility representative was informed that the Notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 consecutive days. The facility was provided a copy of their appeal rights (LIC 9058 12/15) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights.
