On August 11, 2026 at 8:59 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Bill Billones conducted an announced change-of-location and change-of-capacity pre-licensing inspection for a Family Child Care Home (FCCH) license. LPA met with Arianna Toscano, Applicant of the FCCH and discussed the purpose of today’s inspection. LPA and Applicant toured the physical plant inside and outside. Applicant will offer services Monday through Friday, from 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM serving all children's ages. No children were present at the time of the inspection.

The home is a single story residence with four (4) bedrooms, two (2) bathrooms, two (2) living rooms, kitchen, dining room, and laundry room. LPA observed a converted garage into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), which was not inspected due to Applicant not having access. Applicant states the ADU is considered separate property. The FCCH will operate in the one (1) living room, kitchen, one (1) bedroom, and the backyard as listed in the facility sketch. The rest of the home will be excluded from childcare. The home is clean and orderly with sufficient spacing and ventilation to meet the needs of children in care. LPA observed a screened fireplace in the living room that, per the Applicant, is not utilized. LPA observed children’s toys, furnishings, and materials are age-appropriate and in good condition. Two locked living room closets are used to store children’s cots and supplies. LPA observed all lower kitchen cabinets and drawers have child resistant locks. Cooking knives and personal medications are stored in locked kitchen cabinets and elevated beyond children’s reach. Cleaning supplies are locked. The bathroom was observed to be in sanitary condition with storage of personal care products secured behind locked cabinets and drawers. The glass door for the bathtub shower is secured by latches.

• 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.

The dual smoke and carbon monoxide detector located in the hallway was tested at 9:15 AM and found to be functional. LPA observed a regulation fire extinguisher (2A10BC) that was serviced on 12/23/2025. The backyard is fully enclosed and LPA observed children have access to outdoor toys and equipment that are age appropriate. The backyard has a locked shed containing personal equipment and an off-limit fenced section containing a covered barbecue pit.

Applicant's Pediatric First Aid/CPR certificate is valid through 12/12/2026. Applicant was reminded to renew their certification every two years. Applicant was reminded a licensed child day care provider, administrator, or employee of a licensed child day care facility shall complete the Mandated Reporter certification AB1207 every two years. Applicant's Mandated Reporter certificate is valid through 11/21/2026.

The Applicant provided proof of control of property.

Because the Applicant rents/leases the home, proof of landlord notification is required. The LPA observed the Property Owner/Landlord Notification form (LIC 9151) that the Applicant confirms was provided to the property owner/landlord. The Applicant obtained a signed Property Owner/Landlord Consent form (LIC 9149).

Applicant 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.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department.

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with Applicant 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. LPA also informed applicant 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.

On this date, 08/11/2026, the California Attorney General - Megan’s Law website was searched for information on sex offenders required to register with local law enforcement under California's Megan's Law. No registered sex offenders were found at the facility addresses. Under state law, some registered sex offenders are not subject to public disclosure; therefore, they may not have been included in this search. However, the Department conducts a monthly cross reference of each address on record for all registered sex offenders against all CCLD facility addresses pursuant to information shared by California DOJ.

Applicant was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org site, a consumer education website that helps families obtain child care by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.

Applicant applied to change the capacity to a large FCCH, reflecting an increase in licensed capacity to 14 children. LPA observed the required pull alarm in the home and the necessary emergency exits. Fire clearance was granted on 07/29/2026 by the Santa Maria Fire Department.

The home meets Title 22 Division 12 requirements for a Large Family Child Care Home with effective date of license pending Licensing Program Manager approval. Once fully licensed, the Applicant is required to comply with the terms and limitations stated on the license.

A notice of site visit was given to applicant and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Applicant Arianna Toscano.
