Yunseok Lee, Director stated that Child #1 needed to complete their homework before they would be given a snack, instead of receiving a snack at the scheduled time at 04:00PM, Child #1 was given a snack after they finished their homework at 05:00PM.

When interviewing parents, parents did not make any disclosures regarding the allegations listed above.

No staff or children were interviewed about the allegations listed above due to the facility closure and relocation.

Due to Director's own disclosure that Child #1's snack was withheld until they finished their homework, the allegation is substantiated.
