Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Marilou Monico and Shine Yu made an unannounced complaint inspection. LPAs met with Licensee, Zhidong Yu. LPAs conducted observations, reviewed files, and interviewed staff. LPAs obtained copy of children's roster and other documents.

Based on LPAs observations and interviews, licensee is operating over capacity by having 14 children (4 infants & 10 preschool age) present in the home with an assistant. Licensee is also using an off limit bedroom as nap room for infants without prior approval from Licensing. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

As a result, deficiencies were cited on the following pages.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Licensee, Zhidong Yu.

A Notice of Site Visit was issued and must remain posted for 30 days.
