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.

LPA observed a total of 4 sinks and 4 toilets available for the preschool children’s use, 1 sink and 2 toilets available for the toddler children’s use, and 1 sink available for the infant’s use. LPA observed a changing table with at least 1” padding of washable vinyl, sides of a minimum of 3” and at arm’s reach of a sink. These are sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 8 infants, 12 toddlers and 45 preschool children. There is a separate staff restroom equipped with a toilet and a sink. The isolation area for children who are ill will be the Director’s office and the staff’s restroom.

The facility currently has a fully fenced playground area for all components. The facility has chain link fencing that is at least four feet high. The total square footage for the preschool outdoor activity space was previously measured to be 4428.13 square feet, but with the subtraction of the new gated infant outdoor activity space measured today, it was reduced to 3791.32 square feet, which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity. The total square footage for the infant outdoor activity space was measured to be 636.81 square feet, which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity. No changes were made to the toddler outdoor activity space which accommodates the capacity with a playground waiver previously granted on 3/19/2025. Because infants will have to cross the preschool outdoor activity space to get to the infant outdoor activity space, Director stated that supervision for both programs will be in place to ensure the safety of all children, especially during transition times. Shade is provided via sail shades, gazebo, canopies and trees. There are sufficient outdoor age-appropriate toys and play equipment available on the playgrounds. New infant outdoor space has adequate turf for cushioning and small play structures for the infants to play on. Drinking water is available via the children’s water bottle. LPA observed all hazardous items on the playground to be inaccessible to children. Director stated that adequate supervision will always be provided to children. Director Kelly Lhungay was reminded that any changes to the facility must be reported to and approved by Community Care Licensing.

For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1- CCP).

The following corrections are needed prior to the issuance of the license:

Infant crib area is missing a gate or door for staff to be able to open and close.
Infant Outdoor Activity Space must be adequately gated to enable children from going in and out.

No deficiencies were observed during this inspection. Director Kelly Lhungay understands that all proof of corrections must be provided to the Department within 30 days, or the application may be denied. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the applicant/Director Kelly Lhungay.
