On 10/21/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ka Vang conducted an unannounced case management inspection. LPA toured the facility, and a census was taken. LPA met with Andrea Ceja and Stephanie Segovia, Site Supervisors. Today’s inspection was to discuss an unusual incident that occurred on 10/16/2025, in which Child #1 (C1) sustained a fracture to C1’s left leg. This incident was reported to the Fresno Community Care Licensing Office on 10/17/2025 by Site Supervisor Andrea Ceja.

Per interviews, it was reported that during the children’s morning outdoor activity, some of the children were playing on the “Falcons Roost” play structure while other children were riding the tricycles. Staff #1 (S1) was supervising and had direct vision of several children in front of S1 as they were playing on the structure. C1 was one of the children that S1 had direct vision. Per interview, C1 was climbing and going down from the beanstalk climber multiple times and C1 was doing fine. On the second or third climbing, C1 instantly lost C1’s balance from the top of the beanstalk climber and fell on the sand. Per interview, C1’s fell instantly that S1 did not have sufficient time to catch C1 before C1 fell on the sand.

Per observed, the beanstalk climber was part of the Falcons Roost play structures, which C1 fell from the top of the beanstalk climber. During this inspection, LPA observed the Falcons Roost have multiple small play structures attached to it, such as the beanstalk climber, rainwheel, mountain climber, tube clamp and slide.

LPA reviewed pertinent documentation at the facility. LPA verified teacher-child ratios were being followed during time of the incident. LPA observed record of the play structure, it was age appropriate. Based on the information obtained, this appears to be an isolated incident, and staff members took appropriate measures to address the child's injury, following proper policies and procedures and no regulations were violated.

(Contined on LIC809-C).

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.
