On December 22, 2025 at approximately 9:15AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Katie Krenn and Jaclyn Naves arrived to conduct an unannounced annual visit. LPAs met with Site Supervisor, Janneth Gabriel Novoa (S1) and explained the purpose of today's visit. Present during the visit in addition to S1 were four staff supervising eight preschoolers (ages 3 – 5 years old) and eight toddlers (ages 18 months – 36 months old). Adult to child ratio was met and the facility was operating within it's capacity on this day.

All staff present at the facility during the visit have been fingerprinted and background checked by the Department of Social Services.

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

LPAs observed that documents, such as the facility license, notification of parents’ rights, personal rights, car seat laws, emergency disaster plan, and daily activities schedule were displayed and visible to the public in the entry way where children are dropped off and picked up by parents and caregivers.

The most recent emergency disaster drill was conducted in November 2025, and the LPAs observed that it was documented. LPAs reviewed the emergency disaster drill log and found that drills were conducted at least once every six months.

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.

The facility uses an app to sign children in and out. During review of the sign in record for today, LPAs observed that two children had been signed in by staff. Staff explained that they had signed the children in, because the parents had trouble using the app that day. LPAs reminded the site supervisor that staff signing children in or out does not meet the requirements. LPAs instructed staff to have a manual sign in sheet that parents can use if the app is not working for them. It is important that parents sign with their full name identifiable signature. S1 stated that they understood.

LPAs observed that each classroom has an integrated smoke alarm detector, which is tested and monitored by the church on the campus. LPAs observed that there were two fully charged fire extinguishers accessible to the classroom. LPAs observed a carbon monoxide detector in the larger room; LPAs tested it and found it to be functioning. LPAs reminded S1 that each room must have a carbon monoxide detector. S1 stated that they understood and would ensure that each room has a carbon monoxide detector.

LPAs inspected the indoor and outdoor areas for health and safety hazards. LPAs observed disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and poisons were securely stored out of children's reach, and all accessible cabinets and drawers in the classrooms were free of hazardous materials. LPAs reminded S1 that the cabinets with cleaning solutions must be locked at all times when children are in care. S1 stated that they understood.

LPAs observed that the classrooms had age-appropriate toys, furniture, educational materials, and designated storage space for each child, which included cubbies and hooks and were labeled for each child. The facility offers mats for children to rest or nap. LPAs observed that the mats are stored in cubbies and each one was labeled with a child’s name. LPA also observed bedding which per S1, is provided by parents and goes home weekly for laundering.

LPAs observed that the bathroom is clean, fully operational, and equipped with suitable toileting equipment and sanitation products. LPAs observed disinfecting wipes and an empty beverage container in an area that was accessible to children. Per S1 the children never go in there and that this space is a shared space as the church uses it on weekends or evenings. LPAs reminded S1 that it is the facilities responsibility to ensure that these items are not accessible to the children in care and recommended inspecting all shared spaces in the morning to ensure that it is safe for children. LPAs observed separate bathrooms available for staff.

The preschool program does not currently provide lunch for the children. The families provide lunches for their children. LPAs observed the children’s lunch boxes stored on a cart. According to S1, only one child currently in care has a documented allergy. The child brings allergy medication to school with them everyday and takes it home at the end of each day. LPAs reminded S1 that all medications must be securely stored and inaccessible to the children, even if children take it home everyday.

LPAs reviewed the files of six children present in the facility today, confirming that their emergency contact and medical information were complete and in order. LPAs also reviewed the 15-minute sleep records for the one child under two and confirmed that they were complete.

Facility Representative 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.
