On the date and time listed, an Informal Conference was held in the Riverside Child Care Regional Office (RRO). Present in the Informal Conference were: Licensee Sonia Carias, Licensee's Spouse Manuel Carias, Licensee's son Luis Carias, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Aaron Ross, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Ana Noble, and Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Perla Ordonez. Please note that this Informal Conference was translated in its entirety by LPM Ana Noble.

This Conference was called to discuss the facility's most recent inspection where LPAs Perla Ordonez and Samuel Lopez arrived at the facility to conduct a Case Management-Legal/Non-Compliance inspection in agreement with the Non-Compliance Conference that took place on 03/06/2024. The Non-Compliance Conference took place as a result of citations and issues regarding Infant Safe Sleep, Personal Rights, Operation of a Family Child Care Home, Health and Safety Code, and Admission Procedures and Authorized Representatives Rights.

On 08/07/2025 at 12:45PM, LPAs Ordonez and Lopez arrived at the facility and were granted entrance into the facility by Licensee Sonia Carias. LPAs explained the purpose of the visit, to conduct a Case Management-Legal/Non-Compliance inspection per the Non-Compliance Conference, and LPAs then conducted a facility tour. LPAs observed six children present at the time, one of which was awake inside a wooden crib which was flipped so the opening of the crib was flush against the wall.

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.

Licensee’s assistant stated that the crib was flipped so the child could not climb out of the crib. Licensee stated that the child was inside the crib so Licensee and Licensee’s assistant could tend to other matters. Licensee stated that if the child is left out of the crib, they disturb the other children and could possibly get hurt. LPAs attempted to inform Licensee of Title 22 regulations and the Health and Safety code sections pertaining to Personal Rights and Infant Safe Sleep. Licensee then took the child out of the crib and left the room where four of the children were present. Licensee rejoined the room where the Licensee’s Assistant and LPA Lopez retreated to. Licensee’s assistant then proceeded to explain to LPAs the situation. LPAs began to inform Licensee’s assistant as to the reason for the visit. Licensee interrupted and explained to Licensee’s assistant the reason for the visit and the previous Non-Compliance Conference. Licensee then told LPAs they wanted LPAs to leave the Licensee’s home. LPAs complied and left the home at 01:07PM. During today's meeting, Licensee informed LPM Ross that she told the LPA to leave her facility due to the fact that she felt disrespect during the facility inspection.
