On 01/12/2021, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Samantha Salunga contacted facility to deliver the complaint finding listed above. Due to COVID-19, an unannounced tele-inspection was conducted using Face Time to tour the facility with Bailey Choi, Assistant Director. During this inspection, there were 10 children with a total 3 staff members. During the course of the investigation, analyst conducted interviews with several staff members and day care parents (past and present). LPA also obtained and reviewed related documentation such as email threads and video footage. LPA received conflicting statements throughout the investigation regarding the above allegations. No children were interviewed due to the allegation and the young age of the children. Based on the information obtained during interviews and observations, it is determined that although the above allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. No citation was issued. A copy of this report and appeal rights (LIC 9058 01/16) were reviewed during inspection and will be e-mailed to Assistant Director and Director. They were advised that acknowledgement of the receipt of the report is to be received within twenty-four hours. Facility was advised to post the Notice of Site Visit and that failure to keep it posted will result in a $100 civil penalty.
