On October 16, 2025 at 9:00 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Priscilla Ochoa conducted an announced Case Management inspection for an increase in the licensed capacity. LPA met with Licensee Representative Liliana Rubio. This facility is currently licensed as a infant program with a capacity of (18) infants serving ages 0 to 24 months old in Rm 81 – Rm 83. The Licensee, Para Los Ninos, has requested to increase their overall licensed capacity to (30) infants by adding (2) additional classrooms for 12 - 24 months: Classroom 84 and 85. There is also a preschool license on this site 198020303.

The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Present during today’s inspection were 16 infants with 7 staff. Appropriate ratios and supervision were observed. All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children was inspected today. LPA P. Ochoa informed Liliana Rubio that staff are required to maintain direct visual supervision of the children at all times during indoor and outdoor activities.

LPA continued to tour the facility and measured the new indoor activity space. The total new indoor activity space measured for Classroom 84 was 291.71 square feet and Classroom 85 is 284.30 square feet for a total square footage of 576.01, which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity increase. LPA observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. LPA also observed a changing table within arms reach of a sink in each classroom. Napping equipment was observed in the form of cots in an inaccessible area. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via each child’s personal water bottle. LPA observed all hazardous items to be inaccessible to children. There are no bodies of water or weapons on the property. Fire clearance was granted on 10/07/2025.

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 observed a total of 2 sinks and 2 toilets in classroom 84 and 1 sink and 2 toilets in classroom 85 that will be available for children’s use. These are sufficient to accommodate the requested overall capacity of children.

Licensing staff observed the infant outdoor area to be separated from other programs using a wrought iron fencing which was observed to be at least four feet high. The infant program was observed to have (1) designated enclosed infant play area. The total square footage for all the outdoor activity space is 1,074.19 square footage, which can accommodate 14 infants at one time, insufficient for the number of children being requested. Staggered play schedule will be needed to ensure the facility is in compliance with outdoor space. Shade is provided via a fixed shade structure. There are sufficient outdoor age-appropriate toys and play equipment available on the playground. There is adequate cushioning in fall zones of climbers provided by outdoor cushioning material. Drinking water is available via filter water in the child’s personal water bottle. LPA observed all hazardous items on the playground to be inaccessible to children. Licensee Representative Liliana Rubio, was reminded that any changes to the facility must be reported to and approved by Community Care Licensing.

A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5-days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30-days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.”
