Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Annual/Required Inspection for the infant license. LPA met with Director Monica Curry and toured the facility both indoors and outdoors. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, providing infant daycare services.

All poisons are stored in locked areas; none were observed during the inspection. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, medications, and other hazardous items are stored out of children’s reach.

There are no swimming pools or other bodies of water on the premises. Firearms and ammunition are not permitted or stored on site. LPA discussed the new pool safety requirements under AB 2866, effective January 1, 2025, and informed the director that Provider Information Notice (PIN) 25-01-CCP was issued on January 6, 2025.

Furniture and equipment were observed to be in good condition, free from sharp, loose, or pointed parts. Playground equipment is safe and well-maintained. The outdoor activity area is free of hazards, with appropriate cushioning materials in place around climbing structures and slides. All toilets and handwashing stations are clean, safe, and in working order. The facility has one or more functional carbon monoxide detectors. Floors throughout the facility are clean and safe. Solid waste containers have tight-fitting lids and are in good condition.

Drinking water is readily available both indoors and outdoors. Water is provided via a jug filled in the kitchen, and children use sippy cups and disposable cups. The facility provides snacks; meals are not provided for children under 12 months, as bottles are brought from home. For children older than 12 months, food is prepared in the facility's kitchen. The facility provides two snacks and one lunch daily. Menus are posted at least one week in advance in a location accessible to authorized representatives. (Continued on LIC809-C)

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.

The facility is operating within the capacity and limitations stated on its license. At least one staff member with current CPR and Pediatric First Aid certification is present at all times when children are in care, including during off-site activities. The name of the center director and any fully qualified teachers designated to act in the director's absence have been reported to the Department. Children are under visual supervision at all times, and staff-to-child ratios are being met.

LPA reviewed a sample of children's files and observed that they were complete, including emergency contact information, medical assessments, Infant Needs and Services Plans, and Individual Infant Sleeping Plans. Staff files reviewed included health screenings, immunization records for influenza, pertussis, and measles, as well as documentation of completed mandated reporter training. Staff caring for infants meet the required educational qualifications.

LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing website (www.ccld.ca.gov), which provides access to resources such as forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and Quarterly Updates. LPA also reviewed the Reporting Requirements under Section 101212.

Director Monica Curry was reminded that all adults 18 years and older—including staff and volunteers, unless exempt under Health and Safety Code Section 1596.871—must obtain or transfer a criminal record clearance or exemption before being present in the child care center. A civil penalty of $100 per day, per person (up to 5 days for a first violation or up to 30 days for repeat violations), may be assessed for noncompliance.

LPA discussed Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, which requires licensed child care centers constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their drinking and food preparation water for lead before January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. Facilities licensed after July 1, 2022, must test within 180 days of licensure per Written Directives Section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). LPA verified that lead testing was completed in accordance with these directives. Director Monica Curry was referred to the Department's water testing webpage: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information.

Safe sleep regulations were reviewed. LPA provided information about the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage and emphasized the importance of checking for recalled infant products on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website. LPA recommended that the facility register all infant devices with the CPSC to receive recall notifications. (Continued on LIC809-C)
