Continued from LIC 9099 (Page 2) During previous visits to the facility, LPA observed appropriate ratios were maintained by staff while children were awake and during naptime. During today’s visit, LPA observed the facility’s staffing ratios were in compliance. Records indicated staff providing supervision to children possessed the required qualifications outlined in Title 22 regulations. Interviews conducted revealed that the facility has experienced staffing issues in the past. Information obtained indicated ratios implemented during that time were less than what was required by Title 22 regulations, such as one teacher to ten children. Interviews did not disclose consistent statements regarding the ratios of staff to children during different times of the day. It is determined there was not sufficient information evident to support the allegation that the facility is operating out of ratio. Based on observations made at the facility, information obtained during interviews, and records reviewed, it is determined that the allegation could not be substantiated or dismissed. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with the director, Linglin He. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
