Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 7/21/23, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Melissa Guirit conducted an unannounced complaint investigation to deliver the findings. LPA met with temporary Director, Siqi Li. Present during today's inspection were 5 children and 3 staff. There were no infants present in the crib-age classroom during today's inspection. Complainant alleges lack of qualifications of staff. Based on staff file reviews, there are staff that do not have complete units to be considered a fully qualified infant teacher. Although Director is present in the infant classroom, the components utilizes two classrooms that separate crib age children and older infants. There must be a fully qualified infant teacher that can be in both classrooms. See 9099-D for Type B citation. Based on the file reviews and information obtained throughout the investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the allegation is SUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview conducted and Notice of Site Visit provided and must be posted for 30 days.
