25 | On May 5, 2026, a Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van conducted an announced annual inspection and met with the Licensee, Zhanneta Karapetyan (Janet). The purpose of the inspection was explained, and the licensee granted LPA access to the home. Upon entering the house, LPA observed the children having breakfast. The licensee and an assistant supervised 9 children (1 infant and 8 preschoolers). The licensee complies with her licensed capacity and limitations.
The licensee and individuals residing in the home have had their criminal record clearances verified through the CDSS Background Check System, and they are confirmed to have an eligible clearance status on file.
The childcare areas are the living room, dining area, hallway, bathroom, and backyard. Off-limit areas are the garage, office room (next to the garage), kitchen, and all bedrooms on the upper level. LPA reminded the licensee that all off-limits areas must remain inaccessible to children at all times by using gates or barricades. During the inspection, it was observed that the bathroom is located on a split-level floor, requiring passage up or down approximately 7–8 steps. A mesh safety gate is installed at the bottom of the staircase; however, it was observed to be left unlocked for most of the inspection. LPA advised the licensee that the mesh gate remain securely locked whenever children are present to ensure compliance with safety requirements.
The days and hours of operation are Monday–Friday, 7:30 am–5:00 pm.
LPA toured the child-care areas to assess potential health and safety hazards. The approved child care areas of the home were found to be clean, well-organized, and free of hazards. Age-appropriate educational, imaginative, and sensory toys were available and in good condition. Required safety equipment was present and functioning, including a fully stocked first-aid kit, operational smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a mounted 2A:10 BC fire extinguisher that met regulatory standards.
