On April 27th, 2022 at pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tapia-Mandujano conducted an unannouced, 10- day complaint inspection, in response to the above allegation. Complaint was received by the Department on 4/22/22. LPA met with director/licensee, Mei-Ling Huang. Purpose of inspection was explained. Present in the facility are 3 staff and a total of 18 toddler and preschool age children. All adults working in the facility are fingerprint cleared and associated. Facility is currently operating within teacher to child ratio on this date.

LPA toured and inspected preschool's day care areas. Facility is operating in Room #1 and Room #4. During today's inspection, LPA received a copy of children’s roster, admissions agreements, reviewed sign in/out sheets, and interviewed Director, Mei-Ling Huang.

At about 9:55am, LPA reviewed the admissions agreement. LPA did not see any conditions of termination included in the admissions agreement. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence standards has been met, so allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
