Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Required 3-Year Inspection for the preschool license. LPA met with Director May Gnia and toured the facility both indoors and outdoors. The facility operates Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.

All poisons are stored in a locked area, and none were observed during today’s inspection. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, medications, and other hazardous items were observed to be made inaccessible to children.

There is no swimming pool or other bodies of water on the premises. No firearms or ammunition are allowed or stored at the facility. LPA discussed the new pool safety requirements under AB 2866, effective January 1, 2025, and informed Director May Gnia that a Provider Information Notice (PIN 25-01-CCP) was issued on January 6, 2025.

Furniture and equipment are in good condition and free of sharp, loose, or pointed parts. Playground equipment was observed to be safe and free of hazards. The surface of the outdoor activity space is well maintained and free from hazards. Cushioning material is in place around climbing structures, and slides to absorb falls. All toilets and handwashing facilities are in safe and sanitary operating condition. The facility is equipped with one or more functioning carbon monoxide detectors. Floors throughout the facility are clean and safe. Solid waste containers have tight-fitting lids and are in good repair.

Drinking water is available both indoors and outdoors. Children have access to purified water via a drinking fountain, as well as a five-gallon jug of water with disposable cups.

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 provides meals through a third-party vendor, including breakfast and lunch. Snacks are funded and provided by the facility. Parents also have the option to bring food from home for their children. Weekly menus are posted in an area visible to authorized representatives.

The facility is operating within the capacity and limitations as specified on the license. At least one staff member trained in CPR and Pediatric First Aid is present during operational hours and offsite activities. The name of the child care center director and the fully-qualified teacher(s) designated to act in the director’s absence have been reported to the Department. Children are under constant visual supervision, and the facility is operating in accordance with required teacher-to-child ratios.

LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and observed that they contained complete and up-to-date contact information for authorized representatives and/or emergency contacts, along with required medical assessments. A review of staff files showed that each file included a health screening, immunization records for influenza, pertussis, and measles, as well as current documentation of completed mandated reporter training.

LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) website at www.ccld.ca.gov, which provides access to forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and quarterly updates.

LPA reviewed reporting requirements with the director, as outlined in Title 22, Section 101212. Director May Gnia was reminded that all adults (age 18 and over), including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption—or transfer an existing clearance or exemption—prior to being present at the facility, unless otherwise specified in Health and Safety Code Section 1596.871. A civil penalty of $100 per day, up to 5 days (or up to 30 days for repeat violations), will be assessed for noncompliance.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed child care centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test water used for drinking and food preparation for lead contamination by January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. Facilities licensed after July 1, 2022, must complete testing within 180 days of licensure, per Written Directives Section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). LPA verified that the facility completed lead testing in accordance with these requirements. LPA referred Director May Gnia to the Department's website for more information: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information.
