On 06/17/2025 at 01:25 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Raymond Moorehead arrived at the facility to conduct a case management inspection. LPA met with Director Gloria Luna. A case management inspection was conducted in response to the receipt of an follow up Unusual Incident Report (UIR) from the facility. The UIR was received by the licensing agency on 06/12/2025.

The UIR documented an incident where a child reported to their parents that they were allegedly slapped by a teacher in the office of the facility. This was a self reported incident, and the facility's staff members have stated that the allegation did not happen at the facility.

LPA investigated the incident, and pertinent interviews were conducted. The following was disclosed.

Staff interviews disclosed a incident where the subject child was throwing sand while playing in the sandbox. It was stated that the sand being thrown by the subject child was landing on other children. Then, it was stated that a teacher asked the subject child to stop throwing sand, or else they would have to either play on the play structure or play in the grass. Further, it was reported that the subject child threw sand at the teacher and it hit them in the eye. Director stated that she went outside to talk to the subject child and had them apologize to the teacher for throwing sand in their face. It was reported that this specific incident took place on 06/02/2025. It was also reported that the facility was informed of the allegation by the parent on 06/03/2025. The facility initially reported the incident to the Department on 06/03/2025. An additional UIR was received from the facility on 06/12/2025 with further details of a proceeding incident regarding a parent's aggressive behaviors.

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.

During today's visit, LPA conducted pertinent staff interviews. All staff interviews consistently denied any allegation of a child being slapped while in care at the facility. Further, all staff interviews consistently stated that they have not witnessed any teacher slapping a child. It was also consistently stated that all teachers are trained to not touch children for any disciplinary issues.
