Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mahnaz (Nancy) Malek conducted a follow up investigation regarding the above allegations which had started by IB investigator Hector Quintanar on 8/1/2022. The Covid-19 Emergency Response questionnaire was reviewed and answered. LPA met with co-licensee, Yu, Mei-Yin. There were no day care children present on today's inspection due to the day care being closed for winter break for 2 weeks. LPA contacted the Language Link Interpretation Services to help with the licensee whose native language was Mandarin.
A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on 12/28/22 indicates all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.

Orange County Childcare Regional Office (RO) received a complaint addressing conduct inimical that Adult’s conduct poses a threat to children in care.

This investigation was assigned to Investigator Hector Quintanar from Investigation Branch (IB) with Department of Social Services. IB Investigator, Quintanar contacted other enforcement agencies who were involved in this investigation. IB Investigator gathered reports from Police Department, Orange County Child Welfare Services, Children Protective Services reports, Orange County Child Abuse Services Team (CAST).
