Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) William Chancellor conducted an unannounced annual inspection for Ruiz Family Childcare (FCCH) on August 1, 2025, at 1:13 PM. LPA met with Licensee (LIC) Adriana Ruiz, who granted entry and provided LPA a tour through the FCCH.

The facility operates Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM-6:00 PM, serving children from birth to twelve years old. Certain areas listed as off-limits include attached garage, laundry room, gated swimming pool area and entire second story. Children primarily utilize the entry daycare room, and outdoor play yard. Off-limit areas include child safety doorknobs and child safety gates making them inaccessible to children. Facility is licensed as a large FCCH with a maximum capacity of fourteen (14) children and is operating within the capacity listed on the license. During the inspection, LPA observed seven daycare children and one assistant. LPA observed daycare children waking from nap, eating snacks, reading and engaging with peers.

A working cell phone is available, and the current phone number on file is correct. A fully charged fire extinguisher (2A:10BC) was observed in the daycare room. LPA observed operational dual smoke and carbon monoxide detectors mounted in the hallway. Kitchen knives were observed to be inaccessible to daycare children in the kitchen. LPA reminded licensee that all poisons and cleaning compounds deemed hazardous must be locked by a key. The license stated they understand that all off-limit areas are made inaccessible by child safety gates, doorknobs or lock and key, and must be operational during daycare hours.

A current roster was available for review during inspection. LPA confirmed the required postings, including the Facility Sketch, Emergency Disaster Plan, License and Notification of Parent’s Rights, are displayed in the daycare entry way. Fire and disaster drill documentation was available, recording the last drill in June 2025. Licensee was reminded that drills are required at least every six months, documenting fire and earthquake drills on different dates.

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 stated there are no firearms present in the FCCH at this time. Licensee stated they understand that all firearms, weapons, and ammunition must be locked separately and made inaccessible as per Title 22 Regulations.

LPA observed a swimming pool and spa in the backyard of the home. The pool is made inaccessible to daycare children by a 5-foot mesh fence, that is installed enclosing the entire swimming pool. LPA confirmed the bottom of the fencing is flush with the ground of the pool deck and has no spacing. There are no gaps or openings large enough to allow the passage of a sphere with a diameter of four inches or more. The fence has no protrusions, cavities, or other features that could serve as handholds or footholds for climbing. The gate was verified to open away from the pool and is self-closing and self-latching. The latch is equipped with a key-lockable device located at least 60 inches above ground level.

One pool alarms were observed to be in the in-ground swimming pool. LPA and licensee confirmed both to be operating when movement of the water was tested. Documentation confirming compliance with ASTM International Standard F2208. The licensee maintains a daily pool inspection log to ensure all safety measures are in place prior to opening the facility.

LPA confirmed the presence of a life ring with a minimum exterior diameter of 17 inches, however approval by the U.S. Coast Guard could not be confirmed during inspection. Additionally, a rescue pole with a body hook was observed, however it did not meet a fixed length of 12 ft. All safety equipment was visible and readily accessible from the pool area. Two technical violations will be provided.

As of this date of this inspection, the fencing does meet Title 22 Regulations. LPA did discuss proximity of palm trees near the exterior of the mesh fencing. Licensee was reminded nothing can be near the mesh fencing that could decrease the height of the fencing or provide a potential risk of a daycare child to climb over the mesh fencing. Licensee stated they will consider repositioning the mesh fencing to enclose the homes exterior windows and eliminate climbing hazards near the mesh fencing.

On July 29, 2025, the California Attorney General - Megan’s Law website was searched for information on sex offenders required to register with local law enforcement under California's Megan's Law. No registered sex offenders were found at the facility addresses. Under state law, some registered sex offenders are not subject to public disclosure; therefore, they may not have been included in this search. However, the Department conducts a monthly cross reference of each address on record for all registered sex offenders against all CCLD facility addresses pursuant to information shared by California DOJ.

To improve the quality and value of the new inspection process, a survey may be sent to the email address provided. Please complete the survey and share your inspection experience. If you have any questions regarding the process for CARE tools, please send the email inquiries to inspectionprocess@dss.ca.gov. For additional information regarding the inspection and its tools and methods, please visit the Program website at www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/community-care-licensing/process.

See LIC809-D for cited deficiencies. Advisory notes (LIC 9102) were provided to review regulations that were observed to be either in question or a potential risk. Advisory Notes are provided with the intent to avoid issuing citations for violations that are technical in nature and do not present an immediate or potential health, safety or personal rights risk to those in care.
