Licensing program analyst (LPA) Giselle Lucero conducted a visit at the facility today in connection with the preschool license.

Upon arrival, LPA observed school-age children playing on an inflatable water slide that had been set up in a section of the facility’s parking lot.

A review of the facility’s history indicates that the facility was previously cited on August 1, 2025, for a similar issue. At that time, school-age children were observed playing in a portion of the parking lot that had been sectioned off with traffic cones. This resulted in a Type B citation, as the parking lot is not a licensed child care area and the licensee had not informed the Department of the proposed change in usage.

Based on today’s observations, the facility is again utilizing a section of the parking lot as part of the child care activities. A review of the facility file confirms that the licensee has not requested, nor received approval from the Department, to conduct occasional activities in the parking lot.



LPA interviewed Director Roxanne Hernandez regarding the continued use of the parking lot area. Director explained that following the initial citation, the facility ceased using the parking lot; however, they recently resumed using it exclusively for water activities. She stated that conducting water activities on the playground caused the gravel beneath the turf to shift and flush out, creating small dips. For this reason, she believed it would be acceptable to temporarily use the parking lot area solely for water play. Director reported that this practice resumed at the beginning of June.

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.

Based on the LPA’s observations and interview, the following deficiency was identified in violation of California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Section 101237(a), Alterations to Existing Buildings or New Facilities. This deficiency is cited on the attached LIC 809D.

A previous licensing report dated August 1, 2025, documented the same violation. Because the facility has repeated the violation within a 12 month period, a civil penalty is required. An immediate civil penalty of $250.00 is hereby assessed for the repeat violation.

An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Director Roxanne Hernandez. A Notice of Site Visit was issued and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with this posting requirement will result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.

End of report.
