25 | On July 3, 2024., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted a required annual inspection and met the Licensee assistant, SuYun Ye. LPA explained the purpose of the inspection to the assistant and was given access to the home. Upon entering the house, LPA noticed an assistant supervising seven children, which did not meet the ratio required for a large family childcare license. When questioned about this, the assistant explained that another staff member was using the off-limits bathroom on the second floor. The same staff from the second floor had no records available for review except for the criminal record clearance. Another assistant and the licensee, Ray Chen, arrived during the inspection.
More children arrived during the inspection, bringing the total to 11 children (four infants and seven preschoolers).
According to the criminal records clearance verified with the CDSS Guardian background check system, it was discovered that two individuals residing at the home did not have criminal records clearance. This is a serious violation and as a result, a type A deficiency was cited, along with civil penalties.
Childcare areas are on the lower level, including the garage converted into a childcare room (living room), family room, kitchen, backyard, and bathroom. Off-limit areas are the entire upper level. All off-limits areas have been appropriately blocked off from the children. The operation hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Licensee has valid childcare liability insurance on file.
