Upon arrival, LPAs observed two preschool aged children being dropped off. Approximately ten minutes later, an additional vehicle arrived, and two more children were dropped off. LPAs approached the entrance and made contact with Licensee Keren Dadon. LPAs identified themselves and explained they were visiting due to the facility’s child care license. The licensee stated she did not have a child care license. LPAs informed her that she does hold a license and asked whether children were present in the home. The licensee confirmed that children were present. LPAs requested entry, and the licensee allowed them inside. Upon entry, LPAs observed six children in the living room along with three adults. As LPAs began asking the licensee questions regarding child care activities occurring in the home, the licensee stated she would get her husband, Rafi Dadon, to speak with LPAs. Mr. Dadon entered the living room and informed LPAs that the services provided were not part of the child care license, but instead were part of a “summer camp” that offers religious instruction occasionally when parents need it. LPAs asked if they could sit at a table to complete the report. Mr. Dadon denied the request, stating LPAs could not remain inside the home because the license was inactive and the facility was not open. (continue to page 2)

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.

LPAs asked whether the children’s parents were present in the home so they could determine if the care met criteria for exempt care. Licensee and Mr. Dadon stated that parents were present. When LPAs asked to see the parents, Mr. Dadon agreed that LPAs could see them but refused to permit LPAs to speak with them. LPAs informed him that observing the parents would be sufficient. As LPAs attempted to explain what constitutes exempt child care, Mr. Dadon asked LPAs to step outside while he made phone calls.

While LPAs were waiting outside, an additional vehicle arrived. An adult female (A1) exited the vehicle and began unbuckling a child. LPA Lucero approached, introduced herself, and began speaking with A1. At that moment, Licensee Keren briefly opened the door and loudly stated that LPA could not speak with A1. LPA informed the licensee that if A1 chose to speak with LPA, she was permitted to do so. The licensee returned inside the home.

LPA continued speaking with A1. During the conversation, Mr. Dadon came outside and stood next to LPA and A1. LPA requested A1’s contact information for follow up at a later time. A1 began providing it, but Mr. Dadon interrupted and spoke in another language. A1 then told LPA she no longer wished to provide her information and stated LPA could speak directly with Mr. Dadon. When asked if Mr. Dadon had threatened her or told her not to provide information, A1 denied this but repeated that she no longer wished to share her information. A1 then proceeded to drop her child off, increasing the census to seven preschool aged children.

LPAs were unable to interview the three adults observed in the home. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary showed only two individuals with fingerprint clearance: the licensee and Mr. Dadon. LPAs were unable to determine whether the additional adults observed had fingerprint clearances, and no names were obtained.

Based on observations and events, 1 Type A was observed of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12 at the time of the visit. 102391(a) Inspection Authority of the Department . See attached LIC 809D.
