On March 4, 2026, at 8:00 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an unannounced Annual Random Inspection and met with Director Yakkeling Esquivel. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection, and the facility was toured both inside and outside to conduct a health and safety inspection. There were 11 infant children and three (3) staff members present during the inspection. The facility consists of one classroom split or divided in two sections. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday,7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

LPA reviewed facility records and verified that all individuals subject to criminal record clearance have obtained a clearance or exemption and are properly associated to the facility. A census of children was conducted, and the count matched the 11 electronic signatures signed in on the facility’s electronic system. The designated isolation area for ill children is the director’s office, located away from other children in care.

The one classroom was inspected, and staff-to-child ratios were in compliance with licensing regulations. The room temperature was appropriate for children in care, and the floors were clean and well maintained. Furniture was appropriately sized for infant children, and individual storage space was available for each child. LPA reviewed three (3) children’s files and two (2) staff files. Staff files contained required health screening documentation and Employee Rights forms. Children’s files included Personal Rights, Medical Consent forms, and Identification and Emergency Information. At least one opening and closing staff member holds a current CPR and First Aid certification.

LPA tested the facility’s carbon monoxide detectors and found them to be functioning properly. The smoke detectors are hardwired and notify the fire department when activated. Per the Director, the smoke detectors are fully operational and serviced regularly. The facility is equipped with a working telephone, a pull-down fire alarm system, one fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and multiple fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, meeting the standards established by the State Fire Marshal. Disaster drills are conducted at least once every six months, with the most recent drill completed on January 15, 2026. All required licensing documents are posted in a publicly accessible area.

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.
