On May 22, 2026, at 9:45 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Angela Nguyen conducted a complaint inspection for the purpose of delivering the finding regarding the above allegation. LPA met with Facility Representative, LeAnne Talada and was led on a tour of the facility. There were 41 children present being supervised by 9 staff members.

Interviews were conducted with the Facility Representative and five staff members. Staff records including staff qualifications were reviewed and obtained.

It was alleged that the licensee does not ensure staff meet the required qualifications to supervise children. The Director and Licensee denied the allegation, stating that completing 12 early childhood education (ECE) units, among other requirements, is part of the hiring process. The Director explained that she verifies all staff have the necessary coursework and passing grades to work with specific age groups, and that teacher aides are never left without the supervision of a qualified teacher.

Staff interviewed stated they have completed 12 or more ECE units, allowing them to supervise a classroom of 12 children. Staff also confirmed that teacher aides are never left alone with children and always remain with a designated teacher. Staff were able to identity the who was a teacher or an aide at the facility.

Based on record reviews and staff interviews, all staff members meet the qualifications required to supervise children. Additionally, there was no corroborating information or disclosures indicating that children were ever supervised by unqualified staff. 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.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview was conducted and this report was reviewed with Facility Representative, LeAnne Talada.
