Upon arrival, LPA met with a designated representative, who explained that the director was on their way to the facility. LPA met with the director, Gabriella Judd Cirelli and explained the purpose of the day's visit. In addition to the director, there were three teachers and one aide present supervising 34 preschool children. The facility remains within its capacity limits and meets the required ratios for today’s visit. LPA checked that all staff present had fingerprint clearance.

Hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 8:00AM to 5:30PM. Facility operates from Bethany United Methodist.Facility is a two floor building. Licensed Program operates on first floor, and the second floor is for staff use only.

LPA and the director reviewed the Title 22 regulations regarding teacher qualifications, approved verification, teacher's aide supervision, and how these regulations apply to teacher to child ratios. LPA answered questions and clarified the regulations. The director has a new teacher starting next month and wants to ensure that all the necessary verification is prepared.

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.

This child care center has more than one location and schedules some staff to work at more than one location. This facility is the newest location. Although all staff present have fingerprint clearance, some staff were not associated with this facility. The director prepared the necessary forms to associate the staff present with this facility. The director also prepared the necessary forms to dissociate former staff with this facility location.

LPA reviewed the qualifications required of persons that are designated to act as the director when the director is not present at the facility. The director also prepared new LIC 308 forms for Designation of Facility Responsibility when the director is not present.

LPA received the LIC 308 and LIC 9182 forms on behalf of the licensing office.

LPA observed that all required documents, such as the facility license, notification of parents’ rights, personal rights, car seat laws, emergency disaster plan, earthquake preparedness checklist, monthly menus, daily activities schedule, and the previous notice of site visit were displayed and visible to the public in the entry way where children are dropped off and picked up by parents and caregivers.

LPA reviewed the files of two staff members that were present today, but not during LPA's last visit. LPA found that the files were missing LIC 9108. LPA printed the form on site and both staff members filled out the form during the visit.

LPA verified the qualifications of the three teachers present during today's visit. This verified that the facility has completed their plan of correction.

LPA verified that two staff members present at the facility today had current First Aid and CPR Certification. LPA reminded the director that those certifications would need to be renewed soon. Per the director, the facility has an upcoming First Aid CPR class scheduled for staff to renew their certification.

LPA tested the carbon monoxide detector in the main classroom and found it to be functioning properly.
