On 9/26/2025 @ 9:00am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Devon Carus conducted a Case Management Unusual Incident inspection to follow up on the self- reported incident that occurred on 09/12/2025 at the Royal Learning Infant Center located at 10206 S. Denker Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90047. The El Segundo Regional Office received the incident report on 9/12/2025. Upon arrival, LPA Carus observed 10 children being supervised by 3 staff members. All center staff that was present during today’s inspection had fingerprint clearance and are associated to the designated license number.

LPA interviewed the following: Staff member #1/Director (S1), Staff Member #2, (S2) and Staff Member #3 (S3) as the witnesses, and reviewed surveillance camera footage of the entire incident. Additional references include Child #1 (C1) and Child #2 (C2). The incident happened towards the beginning of the day during morning outdoor play time at 11:30am. S3 initially noticed the incident, and took the child inside to be cleaned. S3 alerted S2, and S1 to assist. Based on the information gathered through interviews, camera footage of the full incident, and visual inspection of the playground (site of the incident), it revealed there were 3 adults supervising 8-10 infant children on the playground.

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.

According to the narrative provided by S1, S2, and S3, C1 was sitting on the orange little tykes brand infant slide and experienced a bowel movement that leaked from their diaper onto the slide. C2 was playing with C1 and standing directly behind C1 when the incident occurred. The area where the feces hit the slide was between C1 and C2 in an area that was directly in front of C2, and C2 stuck their fingers in it. C1 proceeded down the slide, and S2 and S3 noted that they smelled feces. There was another child who at the time had soiled their diaper, and was immediately taken inside to be cleaned. During this time, C2 rubbed the feces onto their shirt and face. S2 and S3 noticed that the smell of feces had not gone away and checked C2 who was found to have gotten ahold of C1’s feces. C2 was immediately taken inside to be cleaned by S3, and S1 alerted the parents of C2. Additionally, S2 observed feces on the orange little tykes brand infant slide. The rest of the infant class was taken inside to ensure the playground toys/ structures could be sanitized in a proper manner. S1 sanitized the slides, and all infant play yard items and did not allow the infant class to use this yard until the following day. C2 was taken to the urgent care by their parents per S1’s precautionary request. LPA Carus spoke to the parent of C2 and was informed that C2 was cleared by the urgent care to be healthy, and with no outstanding illnesses or sicknesses due to the incident.

Additionally, LPA Carus viewed the video footage of the entirety of the incident, and confirmed that staff were properly supervising the children in the outdoor area, as well as taking proper sanitary, and precautionary measures to ensure the play area came back into a usable state.

Furthermore, LPA Carus advised director to inform staff to keep a close eye on children playing behind equipment, and when other children are near as a preventative measure regarding similar incidents.

At this time, based on the available information, no violations will be cited today.

The content of this report was read and discussed in detail with Ndidi Duruhesie, preschool director.

An exit interview was conducted. The notice of site visit must be posted for 30 days upon receipt.
