Also every parent interviewed stated they would recommend the FCCH.

LPA interviewed Licensee and assistant. The licensee interview revealed Licensee is knowledgeable of the definition of personal rights as defined in Title 22 CCR. Licensee stated, when a child displays challenging behavior, licensee sits down with the child, talks to the child and listens to the child. LPA interviewed assistant. The assistant interview revealed, assistant is aware of the definition of personal rights. Assistant stated, how assistant has observed Licensee, respect the personal rights of children.
