On August 21, 2025, at 12:10 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) William Chancellor conducted an unannounced annual inspection for Vafaei Family Childcare (FCCH) LPA met with Licensee (LIC) Sepideh Vafaei, who granted entry and provided LPA a tour through the FCCH. Present during the inspection were eight daycare children, licensee and one assistant.

The facility operates Monday through Sunday from 07:00 AM to 6:00 PM, serving children from birth to thirteen years old. Certain areas listed as off-limits include the attached garage, and entire second story. Children primarily utilize the daycare room (den), living room and outdoor play yard. Off-limit areas include child safety gates making them inaccessible to daycare children. The 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 daycare children transition from eating lunch and going down for nap time. Licensee and assistant were observed to intermittently check in on daycare children who woke up during nap.

A working cell phone is available, and the current phone number on file is correct. A fully charged fire extinguisher (2A:10BC) mounted in the kitchen. LPA observed operational smoke detectors mounted in the daycare room. The carbon monoxide detector was tested and mounted in the hallway. Kitchen knives were observed to be inaccessible to daycare children atop the kitchen counter corner. 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 parent board. Fire and disaster drill documentation was available, documented in March 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.

A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with Licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed Licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment. Licensee was reminded 15-sleep logs are required for all infants until the age of 24 months. LPA reminded licensee that sleep logs shall document the position of the infant, under the age of 12 months, and include staff initials. Documentation should reflect, date, times, child’s name, signs of distress and or labored breathing. When sleeping in a separate room the door must remain open; the provider should be able to visually observe the infant without moving the door. Additionally, pacifiers are allowed in the crib or play yard, if nothing is attached to it. Clothes clips are only permitted when the infant is mobile. Once the infant can climb out of a playpen, it is no longer age appropriate, and the infant can transition out onto a cot or mat with a blanket. The playpen must be kept free of all loose blankets. A deficiency will be cited due to two infants files not having a LIC 9227 or sleep logs available for review during inspection.

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.
