Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lilli Babcock conducted a Case Management-Deficiencies visit on 11/30/23 to address deficiencies revealed during a complaint investigation. A COVID risk assessment was conducted. LPA met with Director, Karina Garcia, to whom the reason for the visit was explained. LPA observed 18 children and 3 staff present at the facility during this inspection.

On 11/29/23 LPA Babcock visited the facility to conduct a complaint inspection. Copies of sign-in/sign-out sheets for the time period of 10/2/23-10/31/23 received during the complaint investigation revealed the facility does not ensure all children are signed out on the Procare app. LPA observed 156 times during the month of October 2023 that children were not signed out on the Procare app. Director stated, "We remind parents to sign the children in and out, but parents fail to do it. Usually we do check but recently we have had staffing shortages and it has been hard to find the time to keep up on making sure the parents are signing them out". This is a repeat violation as the same regulation was cited on 5/22/23.

Based on interview and records reviewed, the following deficiencies listed on the attached LIC 809D (deficiency page) are being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 22. Deficiencies that are being cited need to be cleared to protect the children’s health and safety.



A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director, Karina Garcia.
