On April 20, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted an unannounced annual inspection of the facility and met with Site Director Marsha Reither. LPA explained the purpose of the visit, and the director granted LPA access to the center. At the time of the inspection, the director, 3 qualified teachers, and 3 teacher aides were supervising 27 preschool children, meeting the required staff-to-child ratios. The center operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Upon entry, LPA checked that all staff present had criminal record clearances verified through the CDSS Guardian Background Check System and were confirmed to be in eligible status.

LPA and the director toured the facility to identify potential health and safety hazards. The center features a large open floor plan divided into designated classroom sections. The indoor environment was observed to be clean, well-maintained, and equipped with adequate heating, lighting, and ventilation. The center uses the Brightwheel electronic sign-in/sign-out system; however, families first sign children in manually, and staff then verify and record attendance in the app. Attendance records were reviewed and matched the number of children present.

During the indoor inspection, LPA observed that the carpet was torn and frayed at the T-molding transition between the tile and carpeted areas. LPA informed the director that the damaged carpet must be repaired to prevent further tearing and to eliminate potential tripping hazards for children and staff. The director was advised to correct the issue and submit photos of the repaired carpet to Licensing as verification of the completed correction.

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.

It was also observed that several electrical outlets in two classrooms were not covered. LPA advised the director to remind staff that all electrical outlets must be covered immediately with child-proof covers after use to ensure children’s safety. Additionally, LPA advised the director to install a child-proof lock on the gate leading to the off-limits kitchen area, as the gate was unlocked and freely accessible at the time of the inspection.

Classrooms contained an ample supply of appropriate toys, learning materials, and sturdy furniture. Carbon monoxide detectors, a centralized smoke detection system, and multiple 3A 40 BC fire extinguishers were present and fully charged. Sleeping cots were stored properly. Cleaning supplies were stored in the teacher’s bathroom, inaccessible to children. Each child had an individual cubby for personal belongings. Emergency equipment was secure and accessible.

The director stated that the center provides Incidental Medical Services. Medications were stored in a secure metal box in the front office. All medications reviewed had the required parental consent. LPA reminded the director to ensure that all medications are in their original containers.

Children’s restrooms were clean, sanitary, and in good working condition. A separate restroom for staff was available. The director confirmed that there are no pools, spas, or bodies of water on the premises and that no firearms or weapons are stored at the facility.

The facility has an approved outdoor waiver for use of the South Sunset Playground. The outdoor play area was fully fenced, clean, and well-maintained. The play structure had a rubberized cushioning surface to reduce the risk of injury. LPA reminded the director that staff must inspect the playground for debris or hazards before use and must bring drinking water, first-aid kits, and emergency information when escorting children outdoors. Additionally, the teacher-to-child ratio is 1:6.

The center provides breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks. Drinking water was readily available both indoors and outdoors. All solid-waste containers had tight-fitting lids.

All required postings were observed, including the facility license, Notification of Parent Rights, Personal Rights, Car Seat Law, Emergency Disaster Plan, approved waiver, and daily activity schedule.

LPA reviewed a sample of children’s and staff records. Children’s files contained immunization records, admission agreements, emergency contact information, and personal rights forms. Staff files contained current CPR/First Aid certifications, mandated reporter training certificates, and documentation of required ECE units. One out of five teachers was missing documentation of their MMR immunization and TB clearance, resulting in a technical violation issued.

The director reported that fire and earthquake drills are conducted at least every six months, with the most recent drill completed on 11/21/2025.

The Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test.

CCC COMPLETED TESTING AND NO LEAD EXCEEDANCES:

LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance with the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP.
