Follow-up on corrections·March 29, 2024

On 03/29/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Romy Castanon conducted a Case Management due to deficiencies observed during today's visit. LPA Castanon met with Facility Representative Binbin \342\200\234Vicky\342\200\235 Zhao and Licensee Huijun Ge. Observed at the time of the visit was a total of 15 children and 2 staff members. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on this date indicates all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions, except for Hui \342\200\234Vanessa\342\200\235 Li (start date: 03/21/2024). LPA informed Licensee staff above was not listed as associated to the facility on report summary. Licensee could not provide LPA with staff personnel file so there is no documentation of Staff Vanessa completing a background check. After reviewing two Licensing Department systems including Guardian, a fingerprint clearance does not exist for Staff Vanessa. FR Vicky stated Staff Vanessa was a volunteer. LPA reminded FR Vicky that fingerprint clearance is still needed. A civil penalty is being assessed today. LPA also informed FR that Interim Director Amynah Moloo was not listed as associated to the facility in the report summary. FR stated they faxed their director\342\200\231s packet to the Licensing Office on 03/25/2024 and were able to provide a copy of their fax receipt. LPA was able to determine that Staff Amynah holds an eligible fingerprint clearance but was not transferred to the new facility when they started. LPA provided the facility with a website link to Guardian. Based on LPA\342\200\231s interview conducted with Licensee, and record review, the facility is being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Section 101170(e)(1) Criminal Background Clearance for one (1) staff not cleared to work at the facility and 101170(e)(2) Criminal Record Clearance for one (one) staff member that has a fingerprint clearance but was not associated with the facility.
