25 | On July 2, 2025, at 8:50 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michelle Hood conducted an unannounced case management inspection for the purpose of issuing citations discovered during the course of the complaint investigation. LPA met with Licensee's sister Marilou Ramos and discussed the purpose of the inspection. There were no day care children present.
On February 25, 2025, the Licensee submitted an Unusual Incident/Injury Report (UIR) – LIC 624; however, the Licensee failed to report the arrest of the adult resident to the department within twenty-four hours after the February 23, 2025, arrest and failed to report the suspected child abuse allegation of a child in care. During the investigation, it was disclosed day care children were allowed to be present in an off-limits area of the facility. Sometime between the years of 2021 – 2025, exact dates unknown, the adult resident who is an employee at the Family Child Care Home placed multiple daycare children in the garage with the lights off, doors closed and also hit the children’s hands as a form of discipline.
On March 21, 2025, during a tour of the facility, there were three swords displayed on the wall, accessible to children, in the same off-limits area of the facility where children were previously allowed to be present.
Based on record reviews, interviews, and observations, it was determined the Licensee failed to comply with the reporting requirements and allowed children in an off-limits area of the facility where hazardous items were accessible to children. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, are being cited on the attached Facility Evaluation Report (LIC 809D).
