On March 4, 2026, at approximately 9:30am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Katie Krenn conducted an unannounced annual inspection. LPA met with Director, Maria Murillo (D1) and explained the purpose of today’s visit. Licensee, Adriana Razo (L1), was also present during the visit. In addition to D1 and L1, three staff members were supervising 30 children. The facility was operating within its licensed capacity and maintaining required teacher ratios.

All staff present during the visit and staff listed on the personnel report have obtained criminal record fingerprint clearance from the Department of Social Services and are associated with this facility on Guardian.

The facility operates Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm on the first floor only. This facility operates a Spanish language immersion program. This is a nut free facility. Per D1, there are no pools, spas, or other similar bodies of water on the property.



LPA observed that all required postings were displayed in a prominent location and accessible to parents and the public. This included the Facility License, Notification of Parents’ Rights, Personal Rights, Daily Schedules, Weekly Menu, Child Passenger Safety, and the phone number for the local health department. LPA observed that the posted Notification of Parents’ Rights and Personal Rights are using the San Bruno Licensing Office's previous address. LPA instructed D1 to update it. LPA did not observe the Earthquake Preparedness Checklist posted. LPA gave D1 a copy of Earthquake Preparedness Checklist in Spanish. D1 said that they would post it.

Children are signed in and out using a manual sign in. LPA observed numerous illegible signatures. LPA reminded the D1 that when parents and caregivers sign children in/out they must use a complete and legible signature. D1 said that they understood.

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.

All six files were complete and contained emergency information, medical documentation (if applicable), admission agreements, immunization records, and other required documentation.

LPA reviewed staff files and verified that all staff present during today’s inspection were current with their Mandated Reporter Training certifications. Four out of five staff members had current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications, which expire in June 2027. A few items need to be updated including transcripts, immunizations, and TB clearance. LPA discussed these requirements with D1. D1 stated that they understood.

Facility Representative 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 their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1597.16.
