On February 3, 2026, at 1:40 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an Unannounced Annual/Random Inspection and met with Licensee Xiaohua Liu. LPA disclosed the purpose of the visit and conducted a health and safety inspection, touring the with facility both indoors and outdoors. Present during the inspection was one (1) preschool-age child. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

The facility is a two-story home owned by the licensee. The home was observed to be clean, orderly, and well maintained, and is equipped with centralized heating and ventilation to ensure the safety and comfort of children. The kitchen and hallway areas are secured gate barriers to prevent children from freely accessing other areas of the home. A gate was also observed at the bottom of the stairs to prevent children from accessing the upper level of the home. LPA observed a fireplace in the living room that was blocked to prevent children’s access.

On-limit areas include the living room, playroom (adjacent to the living room), downstairs bathroom, play yard (portion of the outdoor yard connected to the playroom), and the upper portion of the brick-paved driveway on the left side of the home. The designated isolation area is the playroom, located away from other children in care.

Off-limit areas include the entire second floor, dining area, second living room (adjacent to the dining area), kitchen, study (adjacent to the kitchen), balcony located off the dining area, and the garage. These areas are made inaccessible to children through the use of closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision.

At 2:00 PM, LPA inspected the outdoor play yard and driveway and confirmed that no pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water were present, in compliance with childcare licensing regulations. The outdoor activity space was observed to be free from defects or hazardous conditions. The area includes age-appropriate play equipment such as scooters, tricycles, slides, and water station. The side yard adjacent to the playroom contains additional equipment for children’s use and includes an awning that provides shade and protection from harmful sunlight during outdoor play.

At 2:10 PM, LPA asked the licensee if she transports children in care. The licensee stated that she does not provide transportation. LPA also asked the licensee whether firearms are stored at the facility. The licensee stated that there are no firearms in the home.

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 inspected the cabinets located in the on-limit areas, which include the living room, playroom (adjacent to the living room), and downstairs bathroom, and did not observe any hazardous materials or toxins accessible to children during today’s inspection. LPA tested the smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector located in the hallway and found both to be functioning properly. The home is equipped with a working telephone, a first aid kit, a pull-down fire alarm system, and a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher, which meets the standards established by the State Fire Marshal.

At 1:45 PM, LPA requested and reviewed the file of one (1) child in care. The child’s file contained the Parent Notification of Additional Children in Care, Identification and Emergency Information, Parent’s Rights, and Medical Consent forms. During the record review, LPA Woods also reviewed the health records of the licensee, and the children and determined the licensee is in compliance with immunization laws applicable to child care providers.

The licensee conducts and documents fire and disaster drills at least once every six months, with the most recent drill conducted on December 18, 2025. The licensee has completed Health and Safety training, and CPR and First Aid certifications are current, expiring in September 2027. Additionally, the licensee completed mandated reporter training on February 24, 2025. The facility roster was reviewed and accurately reflects current children enrolled, as well as those no longer attending the facility.

LPA discussed safe sleep regulations with the licensee and reviewed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage as an additional resource. LPA also informed the licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices through the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and recommended registering all infant devices to receive recall notifications.

Effective August 1, 2003, California law requires Family Child Care Home licensees to report unusual incidents or injuries involving children in care to the child’s parent(s) and to the Department of Social Services using the Unusual Incident/Injury form (LIC 624B). Such incidents must be reported within 24 hours by telephone, fax, or electronic mail. The licensee was also reminded that Mandated Reporter Training (“General” and “Child Care Providers”) is required for all staff and must be renewed every two years.
