On August 13, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted an unannounced annual inspection and met with Assistant to the Principal, Maren Armour. The purpose of the inspection was explained. Ms. Armour stated that the center is currently on summer recess but is operating a summer program serving preschool- and school-aged children. At the time of inspection, four teachers were supervising sixteen preschool-aged children. The Site Director, Ruchika Uthayakumar, arrived during the inspection.

Ms. Armour reported that the school district recently updated classroom numbers, which no longer match those listed on the center’s current license. The updated classroom numbers are Rooms 501, 502, 511, 512, 513, and the Multi-Purpose Room. During the regular school year, the center operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM.

LPA conducted a walkthrough of all classrooms and outdoor areas to assess health and safety conditions. Several classrooms were observed in a setup stage and not in use due to summer recess. According to Ms. Armour, regular teachers will return next week to clean and prepare the classrooms for the new school year. LPA observed combined smoke/fire and carbon monoxide detectors, and multiple fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguishers located in classrooms and hallways. A working telephone was present.

All cleaning solutions, chemicals, and poisons were stored out of children's reach. Classrooms contained appropriate furniture, and floors and rugs were in good repair and free of hazards. First aid supplies were available. LPA inspected sinks and toilets, which were in working condition.

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 Director, the center has built an off-site kitchen to prepare meals for the children, and food will be delivered to the center daily for service. Water is provided through filtered water and refilled as needed.

LPA inspected multiple outdoor areas. The outdoor spaces included a garden, shaded rest areas, sand pits, slides, padded flooring, and age-appropriate play structures free of hazards. Various toys, riding carts, and sports equipment were available. Sheds and bins were used to store toys when not in use.

The facility uses paper sign-in/out sheets for the summer program, and according to the director, the center is going to have a new sign-in/out app created specifically for the center for the upcoming school year.

Required postings, including the facility license, were visible. The emergency drill log showed the last drill conducted on May 1, 2026. According to the Director, drills are conducted monthly during the school year and rotated between lockdown, fire, and earthquake drills. Children bring blankets from home for napping, which are washed weekly at home.

LPA reviewed children and personnel files. Five children’s files were reviewed and contained all required documentation. Four staff members were present during the inspection; however, only one had a complete personnel file available for review. The reviewed staff file included qualifying requirements such as ECE units. Several staff members have valid Pediatric First Aid and CPR. A learning curriculum and daily schedule were posted in the classroom.

The Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. 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.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test.

CCC COMPLETED TESTING AND NO LEAD EXCEEDANCES:

LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance with the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA are available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.

The Director was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org website, a consumer education website that helps families obtain child care by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.

LPA discussed Child Abuse Mandated Training AB1207 with the Director. As of January 1, 2018, all staff must complete Mandated Reporter Training every two years. The training can be obtained online at www.mandatedreporterca.com.

Pesticide regulations were discussed with the Site Director.
