On August 7, 2025, at approximately 7:00 AM, LPA Paul Garcia conducted an unannounced Case Management Inspection at 136 N O ST Tulare California 93274. Upon arrival, LPA rang both the smart doorbell and an adjacent doorbell approximately five times, but received no response. A black sedan was observed parked in the driveway.

Given that the facility’s operational hours are Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 5:30 PM, LPA attempted to contact the facility by calling multiple associated phone numbers, including (559) 685-8182, approximately eleven (11) times. Although LPA could hear the phone ringing inside the home, no one answered.

LPA proceeded to the rear of the property to check the outdoor play yard but did not observe anyone present.

At approximately 7:40 AM, a white SUV arrived at the facility. LPA made contact with an adult female who identified herself as Lourdes, the wife of licensee Jose Camilo. LPA identified himself as a representative of the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division (CDSS/CCLD), and explained the purpose of the inspection.

Lourdes opened the front door, which was barricaded with a heavy bookcase that she had to move to allow entry. She stated she was running late and that children were present with another adult. Upon entering, LPA observed an adult female inside the child care center with two children in care. Lourdes initially attempted to prevent LPA from entering the home by requesting he stay outside.

Although Lourdes claimed to speak only Spanish, she communicated effectively in English during initial contact. While LPA was attempting to engage with Lourdes , he heard a vehicle start. When asked about the adult female inside the child care center, Lourdes stated she had left. LPA instructed Lourdes to have the unidentified female return so he could speak with her, but his request was ignored.

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.

LPA stepped onto the front porch and observed the female in the black sedan backing out of the driveway. LPA made eye contact and gestured for her to stop and return, but she did not comply.

Lourdes appeared visibly nervous, emotional, and repeatedly stated in plain English, “I’m going to lose my job, I don’t want to lose my job.” LPA attempted to calm Lourdes to better understand the situation without success. When asked about the unidentified female, Lourdes stated she was a volunteer who occasionally assists with child care. Lourdes further claimed the volunteer had been in the restroom, which was the reason for not answering the door or phone.

LPA determined the unidentified adult female lacked background clearance and was not associated to this facility nor any other facility.

LPA determined the unidentified adult female willfully failed to open the door to the facility nor answered the telephone as required per a condition of licensure as it pertains to the department’s inspection authority.

LPA also determined the children were without supervision when LPA was informed by Lourdes that the only adult on site had been in the restroom, leaving the children unsupervised and without the presence of a qualified teacher.

Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, of the California Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies are being cited on LIC 9099-D.

LPA Paul Garcia informed Lourdes De Moya De Camilo that this report dated August 7, 2025, documents one (1) Type A citation. Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care. Also, LPA Garcia informed Lourdes to provide a copy of this licensing report dated August 7, 2025 that documents any Type A citation(s) to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification.



This report shall be made available to the public upon request.
An exit interview was attempted with the facility representative Lourdes De Moya De Camilo but she refused to sign. The issuance of a notice of site visit was attempted but unsuccessful. LPA will email documents to the licensee, Jose Camilo
