they did what the parents asked and kept them in the highchair when they were not eating. LPA informed Licensee that highchairs are to only be used for eating and they cannot leave children in the highchair to view lessons even with parents consent. LPA informed Licensee once a child is done eating they must be removed from the highchair. LPA advised Licensee to try using chairs instead of high chairs or to have all the children sit in chairs around the table when they are viewing lessons.

Based on the LPAs observations, and interview concluded with Licensee the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (code) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D

Exit interview was conducted with Licensee, Larysa Shevchuk. Appeals Rights and the Notice of Site visit were provided. The Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.

The staff that were interviewed expressed the facility treats all children fairly and they do not discipline any children in care. The staff stated they talk to the children when they are misbehaving and have no observed any staff or owners treating children unfairly. During the visits to the facility, LPA did not observe any children not being treated with dignity and respect.

Based on the investigation conducted, there is insufficient evidence to support the above-mentioned allegations to be true. Therefore, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are Unsubstantiated.

The Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days during the hours of operation after each site visit by a licensing representative. Failure to maintain posting as required will result in a civil penalty of $100.00.
