Ratio not published

Kelly (Belmont Chinese School Director) since 2008, Grace (Executive Director) since 2009, Vivian (Program Director) since 2014 and Mei (Founder & Executive Director), 10 years in early childhood.

Of 905 Bay Area providers, 29 publish how long a named staff member has been there; the longest tenure at each of those has a median of sixteen years.

Shortlist doesn’t have these yet: cost, hours and late pickup, teaching approach, sick and biting policies.

What the state has found

The state lists 2 visits below. Shortlist has not read the reports behind them, so there is no share of visits that cited something to set beside other providers yet.

Fixed?
Shortlist has not read California CDSS Community Care Licensing’s reports for this provider, so what they cited is not known.
Most serious
Shortlist has not read the reports California CDSS Community Care Licensing published for these visits, so nothing here says what they found.

California CDSS publishes the full investigation narrative for a complaint, including its disposition, and classifies a citation Type A — an immediate risk to a child — or Type B.
