During today’s inspection the facility was not operating within its licensed capacity and within compliance of staffing ratios - there were a total of 15 children present, including eight (8) infant children and seven (7) preschool children, taking a nap; see LIC 9099D for deficiency.

On 12/22/2025, the Orange County Regional Office received a complaint with one allegation listed above: Reporting Party (RP) alleged that facility is operating out of ratio.

On 12/29/2025, LPA Patricia Duron conducted an unannounced visit to the facility and met with the licensee. Licensee stated that the facility was closed that day, and LPA did not observe any children present. Licensee provided LPA with facility roster for investigative review.

The Orange County Regional Office has investigated the complaint alleging facility is operating out of ratio. Based on information gathered from LPA observations, interviews, and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the allegation substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 & Chapter 3 is being cited; see LIC 9099D.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Licensee, Taeyong Kim.
