On 7/30/26, at 12:15 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced annual random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Leentje Lakeman, Licensee of the FCCH, and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. The LPA, in the company of Licensee, toured the FCCH throughout its entirety (inside and outside). The home consists of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The residence is a single story home and it sits on approximately four acres of land. Important to note, day care only occurs in a detached studio alongside the main house. The areas that are accessible for day care children are as follows: a detached studio (which includes a bathroom and multiple play areas) and a portion of the backyard. The remainder of the home is excluded from childcare services. In the studio, inaccessible areas are made secure by child safety gates and locks. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed 0 day care children present. One of the Licensee's minor biological children were also present on site. In addition to the Licensee, LPA also observed the Licensee's husband in part of the residence (cleared and associated).

LPA observed the FCCH to be clean and orderly. The bathroom, utilized for childcare, was found to be clean and free of toxic items. LPA observed bathroom cabinets to be free of any hazardous items and to contain child safety locks. LPA observed sharps, like kitchen knives, and cleaning supplies stored in locked and/or elevated kitchen cabinets. Additional cleaning supplies are stored in the studio bathroom in elevated areas. Personal medication is stored in the main part of the home, an area that is off limits for children in care. No children currently use or require medication at the moment. Licensee also informed LPA that a First Aid Kit is present in the residence for the day care.

LPA observed age-appropriate toys, furnishings, and equipment throughout the studio. LPA observed an electric fireplace in the studio that is elevated and covered by glass. Licensee informed LPA that the fireplace is not turned on during day care hour operations. Additionally, LPA observed 3 smaller dogs present throughout the property. Licensee informed LPA that each of the dogs vaccinations are current and that the dogs have friendly interactions with children in care. (CONT. 809-C, 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.

LPA observed relevant licensing forms and documents posted prominently in the primary playroom. LPA observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the area. The detectors were separately tested at 1:05 PM and were found to be operational. LPA observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH which was last purchased on 10/7/25. LPA reminded the Licensee to either service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually. LPA reviewed the FCCH's fire/disaster drill log. The most recent disaster drill occurred on 2/11/26. Licensee informed LPA that the FCCH conducts disaster drills at least once every six months.

As prior mentioned, the backyard is accessible to children in care. The FCCH's outdoor area is enclosed by a mixture of fencing throughout. Importantly to note, the outdoor play area borders a descending dry creek area. The slope area varies in proximity to children's play structures anywhere from 10 feet to 20 feet. Like the interior of the FCCH, the outdoor area has age-appropriate play structures, toys, and other equipment throughout the area that can afford for robust childcare services. Licensee was reminded to replace toys and play equipment which start to degrade or are not in good repair. The footing of the exterior is varied and made up of the following: asphalt (long driveway), natural grass, playground bark, artificial turf, and dirt. Shade is afforded by a number of sun sails, umbrellas, and neighboring trees. Licensee attested to LPA that there are no bodies of water present on site. The Licensee does own an above-ground swimming pool, however, it is currently disassembled. LPA reminded the Licensee of the requirements to follow should the swimming pool be installed again in the front yard. LPA also observed a large trampoline present on site. LPA advised the Licensee that their particular trampoline should not be used during day care hours and Licensee understood. The Licensee attested to LPA that children are always supervised when engaged in outside activity.



LPA reviewed children's records. The records are current, complete, and possessed emergency contact information and vaccination records, among other relevant licensing documents and forms. The Licensee's records were also reviewed. Licensee completed their Mandated Reporter Training on 10/8/25 and their CPR/First Aid Training on 3/21/26. Licensee was reminded to renew certifications and training prior to expirations. The Licensee informed LPA that there are no firearms and ammunition that are stored on site.

Currently, the Licensee does not provide Incidental Medical Services (IMS) or administer medication to children in care. IMS policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) (CONT. 809-C, Page 3)

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with Licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. Through interview and record review, LPA determined that the Licensee checks and documents napping infants every 15 minutes. LPA also informed Licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.

Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living in the home, persons who provide care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, 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 licensed Family Child Care Home. 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.

During today's inspection, no citations were issued.

During the exit interview, the Licensee confirmed that there are no Registered Sex Offenders living in the facility when the LPA completed an RSO profile in FAS on 7/30/26.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Appeal rights were also given and signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights. Exit interview was conducted and the report was reviewed with the Licensee, Leentje Lakeman .
