Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Melanie Otsuji arrived to the facility unannounced to conduct investigation into the above allegation. LPA met with Licensee, Wei Zhang. Also present during today's visit was the Licensee's fingerprint cleared spouse, a fingerprint cleared assistant and 9 children (4 infants and 5 preschoolers). LPA conducted a health & safety inspection on the facility.

LPA conducted interviews and it was stated that while children do have ample time outisde of their highchairs (reading time, outside/inside play time, academic time), Licensee stated that circle time is also conducted while sitting in the high chairs. High chairs are to be used for their intended purpose only which is to eat in. Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 1), are being cited on the attached LIC. 9099D.
Exit interview conducted. Appeal rights provided.
Substantiated
