25 | On March 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM, Licensing Program Managers (LPMs) Leung, Zebila, and Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Van, Naves, Tso, Alvarado, and Wadhwa met with licensees Xu Ming Chen (Michelle) and Yan Yu Zhao in an informal office meeting. The purpose of the informal meeting was to address the licensee's history of non-compliance, review provisions regarding temporary absences, and discuss regulations concerning safe sleep practices for infants.
During the meeting, the following was reviewed and discussed:
· On November 20, 2023, a complaint was substantiated: the licensee's failure to comply with the infant sleep regulation. Specifically, an infant was found napping in a room with the door closed.
· On November 25, 2024, LPA Alvarado inspected the You and Me Children Center and found that Xu Ming Chen was present from 10:25 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. This duration indicated that Ms. Chen's temporary absences exceeded the permissible limit of 20 percent for her family childcare home licensee 384002205. (You and Me Children Center's infant license is 414004856, and the preschool license is 414004795, which Xu Ming Chen is co-owner of.)
· On January 23, 2025, during the annual inspection, it was noted that 2 out of 4 infants were swaddled during nap time. One crib contained a sleeping child with a blanket, a pillow, and books inside. Blankets were used as bedsheets to cover both cribs.
