On 7/22/25 at 9:15 am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gerald Poindexter conducted an unannounced annual inspection. Upon arrival, LPA met with the licensee, Neha Gupta. The licensee’s helper, Jenna Schram, and 10 daycare children were present at the time of the inspection. There were no children under 24 months of age. Licensee stated that children currently enrolled range from 3.5 to 5 years old. Ms. Gupta states hours of operation are from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. The licensee was provided with the Inspection Checklist (LIC 126). Licensee’s preferred language is English. The 3-bedroom, two-story home was toured and inspected to ensure an environment safe for the care and supervision of children.

Areas used for childcare include: family room (main day care area), bedroom downstairs (playing area), bathroom and kitchen (with curtain to separate the day care areas). Off limits areas include the living room, formal dining room, kitchen pantry, the garage and the entire second floor. Off limit areas are inaccessible through use of a door. LPA reminded licensee to install door knob covers on doors leading to off limits area, during operating hours. The facility has sufficient toys and equipment available.

The home has a fully fenced, backyard play area available for outdoor activities. The outdoor play area has age-appropriate play equipment in good condition. The licensee understands that visual supervision is always required during outdoor activities. The licensee’s home was not observed to contain a body of water. However, the LPA noted that approximately three-quarters of the iron, backyard fencing is supplemented by wire fencing to block out pests (rabbits), and to minimize gaps in the fence measuring approximately 5.75 inches. LPA observed today that a portion of the iron fence was not supported by wire fencing, a potential hazard, since the neighboring home (down a short embankment) has a swimming pool. Licensee stated that the missing wire fencing had been removed within the past two years. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

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.
