On 8/20/2026, License Program Analyst (LPA) Pa Dao Vang conducted a case management inspection and met with Director Saira Singh and Licensee Abrica Castaneda. There are 9 infants, 12 toddlers, and 18 preschoolers supervised by 9 staff members

Throughout the investigation, LPA made observations, conducted interviews, reviewed personnel files, and gathered documentation. On 7/20/2026 at 9:23 AM, LPA observed the infant classroom split into two different groups as S9 and S10 transitioned into the infant outdoor yard with 6 infants. S4 went on a break and S5 supervised 3 infants in the classroom. The Director stated that S9’s first day of employment was on 7/20/2026. LPA reviewed S9’s unofficial transcript with courses that meets 3 out of 12 units of the fully qualified infant teacher. S9 did not have proof of enrollment or completion of the Child Development, Family and Community nor the Infant/Toddler units. LPA also learned from the interviews that S10 does not meet the requirements to be a fully qualified infant teacher to supervise a group of children. In S9’s interview, LPA also learned that during their employment from 7/20/2026 to 7/24/2026, S9 was also left alone supervising young infants in the classroom with no qualifying staff member.

LPA observed a July Menu 2026 posted in all the classrooms with no specifying times of the meals being served to the children. Through the interviews, LPA learned that during the 4 of July Barbeque event on Thursday, 7/2/2026, the children were being served foods that were not listed on the menu. Based on staff and parents’ interviews, the children were served half a bun, corn on a cob, chopped watermelon, milk, and other snacks. According to the Director, the parents were notified of the menu for the event through a communication app prior. Based on the investigation, the facility did not follow the lunch menu on the day of the event shown on the July Menu 2026.

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.
