Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Meche Rosales and Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Annual/Required Inspection for the infant license. LPAs met with Director Tasha Avalos and toured the facility indoors and outdoors. Days and hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

All poisons are kept in a locked storage area, and none were observed during the inspection. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, medications, and other hazardous items are stored so they are inaccessible to children. There is no swimming pool or other body of water on the premises. No firearms or ammunition are allowed or stored on the premises.

Furniture and equipment are in good condition and free of sharp, loose, or pointed parts. Playground equipment is in safe condition and free of hazards. The surface of the outdoor activity space is well maintained, and areas around high climbing equipment and slides have cushioning material to absorb falls. All toilets and handwashing facilities are safe and sanitary. The facility has one or more functioning carbon monoxide detectors. Floors are clean and safe, and solid waste containers have tight-fitting covers and are in good repair.

Drinking water is available indoors and outdoors. Children use personal sippy cups brought from home, which are washed after each use. The facility provides meals through a third-party food program that includes formula. Water used for preparing formula on site is filtered through the center’s system, and a bottled water service is also available for infants. Parents may prepare bottles at home and bring them daily. Breast milk is accepted, and parents must label each bottle with the child’s name and the date it was prepared. Staff assist with labeling when needed. On-site food preparation is limited to formula, while parents supply bottles prepared at home. (Continued on LIC809-C)

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.

Capacity and limitations specified on the license are maintained. At least one person trained in CPR and Pediatric First Aid is present when children are at the facility or at off-site activities. The name of the center director or fully qualified teacher designated to act in the director’s absence has been reported to the Department. All children are under continuous visual supervision of a teacher. The facility meets teacher-child ratios.

A sample of children’s files was reviewed and found complete, including emergency contact information and medical assessments. Infant files included the Infant Needs and Services Plan and Individual Infant Sleeping Plan. Staff files reviewed were complete with health screenings, immunization records for influenza, pertussis, and measles, and current documentation of mandated reporter training. Staff providing care to infants meet education requirements.

LPAs discussed the Community Care Licensing website www.ccld.ca.gov, which provides resources such as forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and Quarterly Updates. LPAs also reviewed reporting requirements as outlined in Section 101212 of the regulations.

Director Tasha Avalos was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers (except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871), must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer an existing clearance or exemption, before being present in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 per day for up to five days, or up to thirty days for a repeat violation, will be assessed for noncompliance.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water used for drinking and food preparation for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee must test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure, pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). LPAs verified that lead testing was completed in accordance with these directives and referred Director Tasha Avalos to the Department website for additional information: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information.
