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.

Per the director disaster drills are conducted both in each classroom at the discretion of the lead teacher and for the whole facility. The most recent emergency disaster drill for the whole facility was conducted on July 2025, and the LPA observed that it was documented. LPA reviewed the emergency disaster drill log and found that drills were conducted at least once every six months.

Each classroom has an emergency preparedness backpack with necessary supplies, including a first aid kit, and an emergency binder with medical and contact information for each child. Per the director, the teachers carry the backpack with the class to the playground and on nature walks, so they can be prepared in the event of the emergency. Per the director, the emergency backpacks are also where any prescription medications would be kept. LPA observed the backpacks in the classroom are out of children’s reach and the director confirmed that teachers keep the backpacks inaccessible.

LPA observed that each classroom has an integrated smoke alarm detector in each classroom, which is tested and monitored by the church on the campus. LPA observed that there was a fully charged fire extinguisher accessible to each classroom. LPA did not observed a carbon monoxide detector in each room. LPA reminded the director that each room must have a carbon monoxide detector. The director stated that they understood and would ensure that each room has a carbon monoxide detector.

The LPA inspected the indoor and outdoor areas for health and safety hazards. The facility was clean, safe, and well-maintained. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and poisons were securely stored out of children's reach, and all accessible cabinets and drawers in the classrooms were free of hazardous materials. LPA observed accessible floor vents and advised the director to cover them to prevent children's access.

LPA observed that the three classrooms had age-appropriate toys, furniture, educational materials, and designated storage space for each child, which included cubbies and hooks and were labeled for each child. LPA observed that electrical outlets were fitted with child safety covers to prevent children's access. Each classroom had a bathroom with two child accessible toilets available for children. LPA observed that the bathrooms were clean, fully operational, and equipped with suitable toileting equipment and sanitation products. LPA observed separate bathrooms available for staff.

The outdoor play area has a sandbox, which is covered when not in use. Fences for the exterior of the property are at least four feet tall. The play equipment is in good condition and does not have sharp, loose, or pointed parts. There are a variety of ridable toys and building blocks available. The areas around and under climbing equipment and slides are cushioned with a soft manufactured surface to prevent injuries from falls. There are no pools, spas, or bodies of water on the property. There is a fountain outside the daycare areas. Sometimes water sprinklers are brought out for children to play with on hot days. Children also bring reusable water bottles, which they take with them when they go outside. Water bottles are refilled by teachers in each classroom.

The facility offers mats for children to rest or nap. LPA observed that mat stored in cubbies and each one was labeled with a child’s name. LPA also observed bedding which per the director, is provided by parents and goes home weekly for laundering. The facility keeps extra bedding available.

LPA reviewed the files of six children, confirming that their emergency contact and medical information were complete and in order. The admissions agreements were not kept in the files, but were made available at LPA's request.

LPA reviewed five staff files. LPA verified that all of the staff members held current Pediatric First Aid and CPR certifications. During a review of the staff transcripts, LPA found that all five staff members had successfully completed twelve units in Early Childhood Education (ECE), which qualifies them to serve as teachers.

During the fingerprint clearance review, LPA observed that two new teachers were not associated with the facility. LPA reminded the director that all staff working with children must be fingerprint cleared and associated with the facility. One of the staff members was not cleared as their application was in process. During the visit the director reached out to Guardian to see why the application had not been cleared. Per the director, Guardian said that the incorrect ORI number had been used on the application. LPA informed the director that until fingerprint clearance is verified, that teacher must not be alone with the children and cannot be used in ratios. The facility was able to accommodate this immediately, because they maintain low ratios.
