Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Annual/Random Inspection and was met by Licensee Maria Heredia. The licensee’s assistant was also present. Days and hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 4:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Saturday from 4:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

LPA toured the inside and outside of the home, and a census was taken. The facility sketch was reviewed and confirmed that the kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, and front yard are accessible to children in care. All other rooms are off-limits and made inaccessible using a baby gate and doorknob spinners.

There is no swimming pool or any other bodies of water on the premises. All firearms and ammunition are stored separately and locked. No poisons were observed. Detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, and other hazardous items are stored safely and made inaccessible to children.

The home has one fireplace located in the living room; it is secured with a glass door and remains unused during daycare hours. The home contains a functioning 2A:10B:C fire extinguisher, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and adequate heating and ventilation for safety and comfort.

This is a single-level home with no stairs. Safe toys and age-appropriate play equipment were observed. The home has working telephone service, and the LPA verified the phone number. Licensee ensures that children are supervised at all times and understands that children may never be left in parked vehicles. The fenced backyard is off-limits and secured with a lock. Licensed capacity is being maintained.

LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and confirmed that required emergency information is on file. The licensee’s Mandated Reporter Training is valid through 03/24/2027. The licensee’s Pediatric CPR/First Aid certification (American Red Cross) expires 03/16/2027. Records indicate that all employees and volunteers have required immunization documentation for influenza, pertussis, and measles.

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 discussed the Community Care Licensing website, www.ccld.ca.gov, which provides access to forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and Quarterly Updates. LPA reviewed the facility’s Reporting Requirements pursuant to Section 102416.2.

The licensee was reminded that all adults 18 years and older living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers, must have a criminal record clearance, exemption, or transfer prior to being present in the Family Child Care Home, except as specified in Health and Safety Code Section 1596.871. Failure to comply will result in a civil penalty of $100 per day per person, for up to 5 days, or 30 days for repeat violations.

LPA reviewed Safe Sleep regulations and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage:
https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep

LPA also advised the licensee to check for recalled infant devices on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website:
