On October 23, 2025, at 9:12 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Bill Billones conducted an unannounced Annual Random inspection of the abovementioned Large Family Child Care Home (FCCH). Upon arrival, Licensee Patricia Castillo was not present at the FCCH. LPA observed 3 children present under the care and supervision of one assistant (S3). At approximately 9:50 AM, the Licensee arrived at the FCCH. LPA informed the Licensee and staff of the purpose of the inspection. LPA toured the interior and exterior of the facility and observed required documents posted in a publicly accessible area of the home. The hours of operation are 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. LPA observed a total of 6 children in care during today’s inspection.

The FCCH is a two story home with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The FCCH operates out of the living room, kitchen, dining area, half bathroom, and the backyard. The rest of the home is excluded from child care. LPA observed the pull alarm is located next to the front entrance. The areas used for day care activities were observed to be clean and organized with sufficient spacing and ventilation. LPA observed appropriate furnishings and children’s equipment throughout the home. LPA observed a screen electronic fireplace in the living room, which Licensee stated is not utilized and is non-heating. LPA observed an accessible kitchen to be free of hazardous items. Cooking knives and cleaning supplies are stored in an elevated space in an off-limit and locked laundry room. LPA observed the day care restroom to be clean and free of hazardous items. LPA observed the stairs are fenced to prevent child access to the entire second level of the home, which is completely off-limits. LPA reminded Licensee to store any hazardous items in inaccessible areas and that in order for areas to be inaccessible they must be secured while day care children are present. Licensee stated no firearms or ammunition are stored in the home.

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 notes the attached garage is off limits and a portion of it was converted into a studio with City approval. LPA confirmed with City Planning Division the converted studio is not a separate property address, which Licensee also acknowledged. Licensee also stated that the studio has been occupied by an individual (A1) and that A1 has been residing in said space since July 2025. LPA’s review of the Guardian roster on 10/23/2025 revealed that A1 was not associated with the facility, which is not in compliance with Title 22 regulations.

LPA observed a carbon monoxide detector and smoke alarm, which was tested at 10:04 AM and found to be operable. LPA observed a regulation fire extinguisher (2A10BC) that was last serviced on 10/02/2025. LPA noted last fire drill was conducted and documented on 07/10/2025. LPA observed the backyard is fully enclosed with varied fencing material. A latched wooden gate was observed for emergency exit. LPA observed two storage sheds in an off-limit and gated section of the backyard. LPA observed age-appropriate outdoor toys and adequate shade structure available for children's use. No bodies of water were observed.

A sample of children’s records and staff files were reviewed. Children’s files were found to be complete with required licensing documentation. Licensee maintains the sleep charts for infants 24 months and under. LPA reviewed a complete children’s roster. Staff files were not maintained. Licensee’s Pediatric First Aid/CPR certificate expires 02/26/2027 and Mandated Reporter certificate expires on 08/20/2026. Licensee was reminded to keep training certifications current and updated prior to expirations. LPA observed an assistant (S3) alone in the facility providing care to 3 children without a current Pediatric First Aid/CPR certificate, which expired on 02/16/2025 and this is not in compliance with Title 22 regulations.

Licensee was reminded that all adults 18 and over living or working in the home, 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.
