On April 18, 2025, at approximately 2:35 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Annual/Random Inspection at the licensed family child care home and was greeted by Licensee Amelia Abat. The facility is currently operating Monday through Friday, from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

LPA toured the home both inside and outside and took a census. According to the current facility sketch, the areas used for child care include the kitchen, bathroom, living room #1, living room #2, and the backyard. All other areas are made off-limits to children through the use of doorknob spinners and door locks. The home is a single-level structure with no stairs.

There were no swimming pools or other bodies of water observed on the premises. LPA discussed the updated pool safety requirements under Assembly Bill (AB) 2866, effective January 1, 2025, and informed the licensee of Provider Information Notice (PIN) 25-01-CCP, which was issued on January 6, 2025.

No firearms or ammunition were present in the home. All poisons are stored in locked areas and none were observed during the inspection. Other potentially hazardous items, including detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications, were stored in a manner that made them inaccessible to children.

LPA observed one fireplace located in living room #2. The fireplace is made inaccessible by a metal screen and glass door and is not used during daycare hours. The home is equipped with a working fire extinguisher, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and has adequate heating and ventilation to ensure safety and comfort. Age-appropriate toys and safe play equipment were observed throughout the facility.

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 has working telephone service, and the phone number was verified as (559) 475-2267. Licensee confirmed that children are supervised at all times and acknowledged that children must never be left unattended in parked vehicles. The backyard, which serves as the outdoor play area, is fully fenced and free from hazards. The licensee is operating within the licensed capacity.

LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and found them to be complete, including required emergency contact information. The licensee's Mandated Reporter Training is valid through March 27, 2027, and her pediatric CPR and First Aid certification is valid through May 2026. A review of staff records confirmed that all employees and volunteers have documented immunizations for influenza, pertussis, and measles.

LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) website, www.ccld.ca.gov, which provides access to useful resources such as regulations, forms, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and quarterly updates. Reporting requirements under Title 22, Section 102416.2, were also reviewed.

The licensee was reminded that all adults age 18 and over who live or work in the home, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer an existing clearance/exemption, prior to being present in the facility. Failure to comply may result in a civil penalty of $100 per day for up to five days—or up to 30 days per person in the case of repeat violations.

LPA also reviewed safe sleep regulations with the licensee and directed her to the CCLD Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep for further guidance. The licensee was encouraged to regularly check the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov to ensure that no recalled infant products are in use, and to register all infant devices to receive recall alerts.

The facility’s Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. LPA reminded the licensee that if IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. For additional information, the licensee was referred to PIN 22-02-CCP. LPA also provided information related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), including the U.S. Department of Justice toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY), and shared the ADA child care resource at https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers.

The licensee was informed about MyChildCarePlan.org, a consumer education website that helps families connect with child care providers and local Resource and Referral (R&R) Agencies throughout California.

An exit interview was conducted, and this report was reviewed with Licensee Amelia Abat. During the interview, the licensee confirmed that no Registered Sex Offenders reside in the home. LPA also verified this through the FAS RSO profile.

No deficiencies were cited during today’s inspection, as the facility is operating in compliance with Title 22, Division 12, of the California Code of Regulations. The licensee was provided a copy of her Appeal Rights. The LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit was issued and is required to be posted in a visible location for 30 days.
