LPA investigated the above allegation and gathered the following information throughout this investigation. Information and documentation collected indicates that one fully qualify teacher and 1-3 volunteers were supervising up to 20 children during the month of 06/2022. According to records reviewed, qualified volunteers have 6 Early Childhood Education units and are able to work as a Teacher Assistant with a fully qualified teacher; however, volunteers are not included in the center's staffing plan and they should never be alone in the classroom without the direct supervision of a qualify teacher. Facility administrator and staff denied all allegations and acknowledged having qualified volunteers in the classrooms observing and assisting with preschool activities. Administrator and staff stated that volunteers have never been left alone with the children if a qualify teacher is not present. Facility records obtained were unclear regarding facility operating out of ratio during the month of June 2022. Based on the information obtained during the course of the investigation, there is conflicting information regarding the allegation. Although allegations may have happened or are valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore allegations are deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. An exit interview was conducted with Acting Director/ Administrator, Vicky Wei, appeal rights discussed. Licensees understands that the Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for the next 30 days.
