On February 4, 2025 at 9:40am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Indira Loza met with Center Director Cynteria Ragler while visiting for another matter. Present during today's visit were 39 preschoolers and 4 fingerprint cleared staff. LPA toured the facility for a health and safety check.

Based on the interviews conducted, it was determined that children are denied to use the restroom due to the facility's policy of not allowing two separate genders to use the restroom at the same time. The policy has resulted in children urinating on themselves while waiting to use the restroom. California Code of Regulations Title 22 101223(a)(2) is being cited which is a Type A deficiency.

The attached type A violation being cited today must be corrected by the due date of February 4, 2025. Upon receipt, the Director shall post and provide copies of this licensing report to parents/guardians of children in care at the facility and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months. All parents/guardians must sign an acknowledgement form of proof of receiving this report (LIC9224). The LIC9224 must be placed in the child's file to be reviewed by licensing.

Exit Interview Conducted.
Report and Appeal Rights provided to Director Cynteria Ragler.
Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 days.
