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.

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.
