13 | On June 3, 2025 Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Stephanie Piring met with Facility Representative Banafsheh (Bonnie) Lee to continue and close a complaint investigation. Upon arrival 21 infant children were present, supervised by 6 staff members across 2 classrooms.
It was alleged that unqualified staff is providing care and supervision to infant. During the course of the investigation, LPA requested education transcripts for all staff employed as Teachers at the facility. LPA was provided copies of transcripts from the employee files for all staff. Upon observation and review of the transcripts, LPA observed that many of the transcripts were altered. LPA observed many transcripts for different staff members looked similar with the same courses taken at the same institutions. LPA observed identifying information such as date of birth, social security, or student identification numbers were the same. LPA returned to the facility and requested staff pull up their transcripts as proof that the transcripts provided were authentic. The facility was unable to provide the proof during the visit, however agreed to send LPA transcripts through an authentic website Parchment. LPA did not observe authentic transcripts for staff observed in the classrooms during inspections on 4/23/25, 5/20/25, and 6/3/2025. LPA confirmed that the staff were not qualified infant teachers.
Based on observation the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegations are substantiated. Continued on 9099-C |
