Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janai McClain met with Director Shukyin "Sonia" Lai Shui to deliver findings for the above allegation. Present during today's visit were 27 children and 7 staff.

During the investigation, LPA conducted facility inspection, observations, record review, interviews, and obtained documents. During interviews LPA received conflicting information and is not able to determine if children are left in soiled diapers while in care. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted. Report and appeal rights provided.
Notice of Site visit was provided and must be posted for 30 days.

Unsubstantiated
