On 01/15/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Christopher Burnias met with Owner, Laurae Raths for an unannounced Case Management incident inspection. LPA toured the facility, and a census was taken. The purpose of today's inspection was to address two unusual incidents that were reported to the Fresno Community Care Licensing (CCL) office.

LPA interviewed Staff 1 (S1), who was present during an Unusual Incident that occurred at the facility. Information obtained from interviews indicated that on 10/16/25 at or around 9:40 AM Child 1 (C1) threw a chair inside Classroom 2. According to S1, C1 became upset with them after being told they could not take a toy from another child. C1 began yelling, hit S1, and then threw a chair. S1 stated that the chair did not strike anyone and that other children were moved to another part of the classroom. S1 stated that they made attempts to redirect C1’s behavior by offering other play activities but C1 continued to yell and be upset. S1 stated that after C1 threw the chair, they calmed down, gave them a hug, and went on to continue playing. S1 stated that they have talked to C1’s parent about the behavior and have come up with a plan to address challenging behaviors. S1 stated that the plan has been effective in redirecting C1 when they begin showing angry behaviors. S1 stated that at the time of incident, they were supervising 12 children.

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.

LPA also interviewed S1, and Staff 2 (S2) regarding a second Unusual Incident involving C1 at the facility. Information obtained from interviews indicated that on 10/17/25 at or around 9:40 AM C1 was spinning inside the classroom, fell, and hit their lip on a table. According to staff, C1 was observed spinning around in Classroom 2. Both S1 and S2 had instructed C1 several times to stop spinning and attempted to redirect C1’s behavior. C1 continued spinning, lost their balance and fell hitting their lip against a table. S1 assessed the child for any injuries and noticed a small cut on their lip with minor bleeding and swelling. S1 cleaned C1’s wound and applied an ice pack to the injury. Medical attention was not necessary. Owner notified parent of the incident. S1 stated that since the incident, a plan has been established with C1’s parent on effective redirection for C1. S1 stated that the plan has been mostly effective, however during the times where C1 does not want to stop spinning, S1 will move around to ensure that C1 will not bump into anyone or anything. Owner stated that at the time of the incident S1 and S2 were supervising 12 children.

LPA inspected classroom area where C1 fell. LPA did not observe any damaged or broken furniture or observe any tripping hazards present.

After interviewing staff members about the two unusual incidents, LPA has determined that the facility was within ratio requirements. LPA also observed locations where staff and children were positioned for the unusual incidents and LPA has determined that adequate supervision was provided despite the individual incidents occurring. Staff took appropriate measures to assess each incident, and no regulations were violated.

Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1 of the California Code of Regulations, no deficiencies are cited during today's visit. An exit interview was conducted with Owner, Laurae Raths and appeal rights were provided.

This report shall be made available to the public upon request. LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit is provided and is required to be posted for 30 days.
