On 2/4/26, at 1:40 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an annual random inspection of the abovementioned Child Care Center (CCC). LPA met with Jude Contreras, Site Supervisor of the CCC, and explained the purpose of the inspection. LPA toured the entirety of the the CCC (interior and exterior). The CCC utilizes two classrooms (Classroom A and Classroom B), a segmented outdoor play yard, and one bathroom. Importantly to note, only Classroom B is being utilized at the CCC currently. There is also a kitchen, staff bathroom, and a staff office within the CCC, all of which are off limits for children in care.

The CCC operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM until 4:30 PM. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed 6 children in care and 2 additional staff members (cleared and associated).

The classrooms of the CCC were clean and orderly. The classrooms have age-appropriate equipment and furnishings for children in care. The classrooms contain a number of closets and storage spaces all of which contain items, equipment, and other related objects for children in care. The bathroom, which is connected to Classroom B, contained an adequate numbers of toilets and sinks for children in care. The bathroom has two toilets and two sinks. The bathrooms were found to be clean, orderly, and rid of any hazardous items for children in care.

Children enjoy lunch and afternoon snacks provided by the CCC. Like snacks, filtered water is provided by the CCC via a water dispenser. Children bring reusable water bottles from home, however, paper cups are available on site for children in care.

CCCs constructed before 1/1/20, are supposed to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before 1/1/23, and then every 5-years except after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after 7/1/22, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of (CONT. LIC 809-C, Page 2)

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.

licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP and is valid until December of 2027.

LPA observed daily routine schedules, required notices, and other relevant licensing documents posted prominently at the entry way of the CCC. At the CCC, children's sign in and sign out sheets are completed on paper and are stored within folders. LPA found that the CCC completed their most recent disaster drill on 1/7/26. Site Supervisor informed LPA that disaster drills are conducted every month at the center.

Near Classroom B, separate carbon monoxide and smoke detectors was tested at 2:20 PM and each were found to be operational. Cleaning supplies, along with sharps, are stored in locked and elevated shelves in the kitchen area. Medication at the CCC is kept in Classroom B in labeled bags which makes them accessible and transferable for staff. LPA viewed a number of First Aid Kits in the CCC. The First Aid Kit was observed to contain appropriate supplies.

As mentioned prior, the CCC has access to outdoor play and the yard is segmented for Classroom A and Classroom B. Due to Classroom A not being used currently, both sides of the play yard are accessible for children in care. The outside playground area is enclosed by chain linked fencing throughout. The fence’s entry and exit gates in the yard are secure and furnishings in the area are age appropriate. The play equipment is free of sharp, loose, or pointed objects. The play structures in the outdoor playground areas have adequate cushioning to absorb falls. The surface of the outdoor playground area is varied. The areas are made up of both concrete pavement, sand, and artificial turf. Shade is provided by various sun sails and umbrellas. LPA observed a number of sandboxes and water tables throughout the yard. LPA reminded the Site Supervisor of the safe practices when it comes to water table usage. LPA also observed three sizeable locked sheds in the yard each of which are used to store child care related equipment. Facility Representative attested to LPA that children are always supervised while outside and that the outdoor area is inspected prior to letting children outside.

A sampling of staff and children's records were reviewed. The children’s records were complete and were found to contain emergency contact information as well admission agreements, among other relevant licensing documents and forms. Staff records were reviewed and contained current pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications (EMSA approved) and Mandated Reporter Training certificates among other relevant licensing documents. LPA confirmed that there are no bodies of water, firearms, or ammunition that are on site. (CONT. 809-C, Page 3)
