On May 28, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Annual/Random Inspection at the facility operating under a school-age child care license. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by Director Kate Gonzales. Together, they toured the facility, including all indoor and outdoor areas used by children.

The facility operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM and on Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

During the inspection, LPA observed that all poisons were securely stored in a locked area and none were observed on the premises. Disinfectants, cleaning products, medications, and other hazardous materials were stored out of children’s reach, as required by regulation.

The facility does not have a swimming pool or other bodies of water on site. There are no firearms or ammunition stored at the facility. LPA discussed the new pool safety requirements introduced by Assembly Bill (AB) 2866, effective January 1, 2025, and informed Director Kate Gonzales about Provider Information Notice (PIN) 25-01-CCP, issued on January 6, 2025.

The furniture and equipment in the daycare are in good shape and do not have any sharp, loose, or pointy parts. The daycare has an indoor play area with safe toys, including one slide that is right for the children’s age. The inside play areas are kept clean and safe. Soft padding is placed under climbing toys to help protect children if they fall. There is no outdoor play area, and there are no swings or slides outside.

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.

Restroom and handwashing facilities were clean, in good working order, and sanitary. Floors throughout the facility were clean and free of safety hazards. Trash containers had tight-fitting lids and were in good condition. The facility had at least one functional carbon monoxide detector on site.

Drinking water is readily available to children through personal water bottles, disposable cups, drinking fountains, or filtered faucet water. The facility provides snacks and meals, which are prepared on site. Parents also have the option to provide food from home, with the condition that no nut products are included. Weekly menus are posted in a location accessible to authorized representatives. Occasionally, on Fridays, Saturdays, or special occasions, the facility provides pizza for the children.

The facility was operating within the capacity and conditions specified on its license. At least one staff member certified in Pediatric First Aid and CPR was present during the inspection. Documentation has been submitted to the Department identifying the director or a fully qualified teacher designated to act in the director’s absence.

All children in care were under direct supervision, including visual supervision, and the facility maintained appropriate teacher-child ratios in accordance with Title 22 regulations.

LPA reviewed a sample of children’s records and confirmed that files contained emergency contact information and medical assessments. Staff files reviewed included documentation of health screenings, immunization records for influenza, pertussis, and measles, and current mandated reporter training certifications.

The Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) website, www.ccld.ca.gov, was discussed with the director as a resource for forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and updates.

Reporting requirements under Title 22, Section 101212 were reviewed. Director Kate Gonzales was reminded that all adults 18 years of age or older, including employees and volunteers (unless exempt under Health and Safety Code section 1596.871), must have a criminal record clearance or exemption—or have one transferred—prior to being present in the facility. Failure to comply can result in a civil penalty of $100 per day, per individual, for up to five days or up to thirty days for repeat violations.

LPA discussed Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, which requires all licensed child care centers built before January 1, 2010, to complete lead testing on drinking and food-preparation water by January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. Facilities licensed on or after July 1, 2022, must complete testing within 180 days of licensure, in accordance with PIN 21-21.1-CCP. LPA verified that the facility has completed the required lead testing and referred the director to the Department’s website for additional information: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information.

LPA reminded the director of staff immunization requirements under Health and Safety Code section 1596.7995, which mandates proof of immunization against influenza, pertussis, and measles. Proof of influenza immunization or a signed declination must be submitted annually, by December 1st.

The facility’s Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. If IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation must be submitted to the Department, as outlined in PIN 22-02-CCP.

Additional guidance can be found at www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers.

Lastly, LPA shared information about MyChildCarePlan.org, a consumer education platform connecting families to child care providers and local Resource & Referral (R&R) agencies throughout California.

An exit interview was conducted, and the contents of this report were reviewed with Director Kate Gonzales. A copy of the LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain posted in a prominent location at the facility for 30 days. A copy of the Appeal Rights was also discussed and provided to Director Kate Gonzales.
