Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) William Chancellor conducted an unannounced annual inspection for Morente Family Childcare (FCC) on November 5, 2025, at 8:45 AM. LPA met with Licensee’s (LIC) Elaine Morente who granted entry and authorized LPA to tour the FCC.

The facility operates Monday through Friday, Monday- Friday 7AM- 5PM serving children three months to five years old. Off-limit areas include the entire second story, attached garage and stair closet with child proof locks and gates making them inaccessible to children. The garage has a double bolt lock, and child safety latch with alarm, making the garage area inaccessible to children. Children primarily utilize the daycare room when you enter the home, den for napping and backyard. 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. Eight daycare children were present during inspection, including three infants and one assistant. LPA observed infant daycare children transitioning up and down for naps, eating snacks, participating in a table side circle time and singing songs.

A working cell phone is available, and the current phone number on file is correct. A fully charged fire extinguisher (2A:10BC) was observed to be mounted in the daycare room. The carbon monoxide detector was tested and confirmed to be operational by LPA. 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, documenting the last earthquake drill on 9/8/2025 and fire drill on 8/8/25.

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 was reminded 15 minute sleep logs are required for all infants until the age of 24 months. Documentation should reflect, staff initials, date, times, child’s name, signs of distress and or labored breathing, as well as infant's position when under the age of 12 months, and in an alternate position from their back. 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, with nothing attached. Clothes clips are only permitted when the infant is mobile. Once the infant can climb out of a playpen, it is no longer appropriate, and the infant can transition out onto a cot or mat. Sleep sacks are considered a swaddling device and a medical exception is required prior to authorizing the use of a sleep sack in a FCC.

On September 26 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.

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.
