On Thursday, August 27, 2026, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Joshua Hatch and Sala Vang met with Director Mindy Yip, for the purpose of an unannounced annual inspection. LPAs observed a census of 12 children being supervised by 4 staff in two classrooms; the facility was operating within capacity and in compliance with the required staff-to-child ratio. Facility hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

LPAs conducted a health and safety inspection and toured the facility, including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service, and outdoor play areas. All toxic and hazardous items, cleaning compounds, and medications were stored inaccessible to children. Floors appeared clean throughout the facility, and furniture and equipment were age-appropriate, steady, and in safe, operable condition. Outdoor activity space and equipment were in good repair and free of loose or sharp parts, with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall and adequate shade provided. Toileting and hand washing facilities were in safe, sanitary, and operating condition, and bins for solid waste had tight-fitting lids. The food preparation area was hygienic and all food was protected against contamination; menus were posted for breakfast and AM/PM snake, which is provided by the facility. Lunch is brought from home. Uncontaminated drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. LPAs observed no medications on site at the time of inspection and an ample supply of first aid materials. LPAs observed a functional carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher, and a working telephone on site. The facility utilizes a electronic sign-in/sign-out system. Director stated there are no firearms on the premises, and there are no bodies of water on the premises.

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.
