On 06/02/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lady Cabrera conducted an unannounced complaint inspection at the facility. LPA met with the Licensee Janie Scott and stated the purpose of the inspection was to investigate a complaint.

Upon arrival, LPA conducted a census. LPA counted 10 children in the converted day care room, while the Licensee reported there were 11 children present. LPA and the Licensee recounted the children together and again confirmed there were 10 children in the converted day care room.

LPA reviewed the current facility sketch and confirmed that the converted playroom, kitchen, and backyard are used for providing care and are accessible to children. The daycare area is located in the rear of the home, separated by a connecting patio made inaccessible to daycare children by a locked door. All other rooms in the home are off limits.

During the investigation, LPA requested to inspect the main house and was granted access. Upon entering, LPA asked whether any children were present in the main house, which is designated as off limits. The Licensee and Staff 1 became quiet, and LPA asked them to be honest. The Licensee and Staff 1 then reported that Child 1 (infant) was in bedroom #2. LPA observed that the door to bedroom #2 was closed. Staff 1 opened the door, and LPA observed Child 1 asleep in a play yard. LPA noted a blanket draped on the side of the play yard and observed a hole in the mesh lining, posing a potential choking hazard and creating a foothold that a child could use to climb out.

The Licensee reported that Staff 1 placed Child 1 in the inaccessible room because the child struggles to sleep in the converted day care room. LPA reviewed the facility sketch with the Licensee and clarified that the main house and bedroom #2 are designated as inaccessible areas to children in care. The Licensee instructed Staff 1 to remove Child 1 from bedroom #2. LPA collected facility records, physical evidence, and conducted interviews with staff. Based on observations, interviews, and physical evidence, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is SUBSTANTIATED.

Per Title 22, Division 12, of the California Code of Regulations, the following deficiency is being cited on LIC9099D. Licensee Janie Scott was provided appeal rights.

LPA Cabrera informed Licensee Janie Scott that this report dated 06/02/2026 document (1) Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care. Also, LPA Cabrera informed the License Janie Scott to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 06/02/2026 that documents any Type A citation 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.
A copy of the Fact Sheet - Child Care Parent Notification Requirements and a copy of LIC 9224 Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Reports was given to Licensee.

This report shall be made available to the public upon request. LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit is provided and required to be posted for 30 days.
