On May 31st, 2024 at approximately 2pm, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Tapia-Mandujano and Alvarado conducted an unannounced inspection to report the investigation findings for the above allegations. Complaint was received by the Department on March 4th, 2024.

LPAs met with Lead Teacher, Ying Zeng and explained the purpose of the visit. Present during inspection was 6 staff supervising a total of 35 preschool age children. Facility is operating within teacher child ratio at this day. All staff present at this time have fingerprint clearance and are associated.

During today's inspection, LPAs conducted a health and safety inspection and reviewed staff files.

During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted physical inspections, interviewed involved parties, staff, and parents, and received pertinent documentation. Based on the information gathered it was determined that there is not sufficient evidence to say that staff did not provide adequate supervision to day care children or that staff did not report an unusual incident involving a daycare child.
