25 | On March 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM, an office meeting was held at the San Diego Child Care
Regional Office to address a deficiency cited during the inspection on November 17, 2025.
In attendance were Facility Representative, Director, Araceli Ongyan, Licensing Program
Manager (LPM) Rajani Goudreau, and Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cindy Meier.
On November 17, 2025, during a case management inspection, a Type A deficiency was
issued for violation of California Code of Regulation (CCR) Section 101223(a)(3) Personal
Rights, which in part, states the licensee shall ensure that each child is accorded the
following personal rights, (3) To be free from corporal or unusual punishment, infliction of
pain, humiliation, intimidation, ridicule, coercion, threat, mental abuse or other actions of
a punitive nature...
The citation was based on an incident that occurred on November 7, 2025, in which due to
a child's spitting behavior throughout the morning, a staff member administered tape on
the child's mouth to prevent the child from continuing to spit. According to the Director and
staff, the tape was removed after approximately two (2) minutes.
The facility submitted an Unusual Incident Report on November 13, 2025. The facility promptly
corrected the deficiency and conducted training on November 20, 2025, where staff were trained
on personal rights of children in care, including the school's Discipline Policy, Behavior
Intervention Policy, Disciple/Behavior Intervention Chart, Children's Personal Rights in
Child Care (video), NAEYC-Culturally Appropriate Positive Guidance (Webinar), Mirroring
Christ's Love of All, and NAEYC-(Nine Principals of Child Development) handout. A sign-in
sheet of staff who were in attendance was submitted to the SDRO. |
