Sang Lee (also known as David) is the program admin support and all assistants have at least six units with the exception of one staff and no proof available that she was assisting and not adhering to Title 22 regulations.

Based on interviews, observations, and record reviews no evidence was revealed to approve or disapprove the allegation(s) of staff inappropriately handled day care child, staff left day care children unattended, facility is out of ratio, staff hits day care children, unqualified staff providing care to day care children and facility has a rodent infestation.
Although the allegation(s) may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the above alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation(s) are found to be unsubstantiated.

This report reviewed with director and copy given. A notice of site visit given and must be posted for 30 days. Appeals rights given and exit interview conducted.
