25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jungmi Han conducted a case management visit on today’s date for the purpose of investigating the allegations against facility on 11/14/2019. LPA met with Director Melinda Frizzell. Census was taken in individual classrooms. The overall census observed was 4 preschool staff and 33 preschool children. A review of staff criminal clearance records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.
On 11/18/2019, LPA Han interviewed 3 out of 5 staff including director, 2 out of 46 children, review records including incident report, children’s roster, staff files, children’s files, staff time card records and children’s sign in and out record for November 1 through 18, and previous supervision training materials provided to staff.
During analyzing staff’s qualification on 11/18/2019, LPA Han reviewed 7 out of 7 staff's teacher qualifications. Three out of seven staff, staff#1, staff#2, and staff#3 did not meet fully qualified teacher's education requirements. Staff#1 and staff#2 did not complete program curriculum class. Staff#3 did not complete Child growth and development and program curriculum classes.
Based on three out of seven staff qualification review, LPA determined facility was not in compliance with Teacher Qualifications and Duties. The director failed to ensure verify teacher's qualification prior to employment. This requirement was not met as evidenced by file review.
Therefore, 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 3 Section 101216.1(c) Teacher Qualifications and Duties is being recorded on the attached LIC 9102TV.
