On August 6, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marilou Monico conducted an unannounced Complaint Inspection. LPA met with Site Director, Chin-Lan 'Jina' Wang and explained the purpose of today's visit. At approximately 8:40 AM, LPA toured the facility. During the tour, LPA observed Staff (S1) alone in Room 4 supervising three preschool children. All other classrooms were vacant at that time.

At approximately 8:53 AM, LPA returned to observe the remaining classrooms. LPA observed S1 alone with two children in Room 3B and Staff (S2) supervising two children in Room 3A.

A review of staff records determined that both S1 and S2 do not possess the required educational units to qualify as preschool or toddler option teachers. Additionally, based on review of records and interviews with staff, Staff (S3) has been utilized as a toddler option teacher. However, S3 does not meet the qualification requirements because they are missing the required Child, Family, and Community course units.
