On February 25, 2026, at 9:15 a.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an unannounced Annual Random Inspection and met with the Director, Mary M. Singh. The LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and the facility was toured both inside and outside to assess health and safety conditions. There were 28 preschool-age children present during the inspection with four staff members supervising. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and utilizes two classrooms.

All individuals subject to criminal record review have a clearance or exemption and are properly associated with the facility. The LPA conducted a census of the children in care, which matched the 28 signatures recorded on the sign-in sheet.

At approximately 9:45 a.m., the LPA reviewed three (3) children’s files. Each file contained the required Personal Rights, Parents’ Rights, Medical Consent, and Identification and Emergency Information forms.

At approximately 10:15 a.m., the LPA reviewed four staff files. All files contained the required Health Records, Employee Rights, and Statement Acknowledging Requirement to Report Child Abuse. At least one opening or closing staff member holds a current CPR and First Aid certification.

The facility is equipped with working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a working telephone, first aid kits, a pull-down fire alarm system, and a fully charged 4A80BC fire extinguisher that meets standards established by the State Fire Marshal and is located in the hallway.

The two classrooms were inspected and teacher-to-child ratios were observed. The classrooms are arranged to allow children to explore various learning areas and contain adequate play and learning materials. Floors were clean, furniture was appropriately sized for preschool-age children, and play equipment was age-appropriate and in good repair. Each child has proper individual storage space. The designated isolation area for ill children is the director’s office, located away from other children in care. All required documents were posted in a publicly accessible area.

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.

Parents have the option to participate in a food program in which meals are provided by School Caterers, while other parents supply lunches and snacks for their children daily. The LPA observed a designated refrigerator area, which was clean and free from evidence of rodents. The LPA reminded the director that all individuals engaged in food preparation and service must observe proper personal hygiene and food service sanitation practices to prevent food contamination.
The LPA observed that the staff restroom is separate from the children’s restroom. The children’s restroom is located next to the director’s office. The LPA verified that the toilets were operating in a safe condition by flushing them. The center has an adequate supply of soap, toilet tissue, and paper towels available to children in care.

The playground area was fully fenced and free from defects or hazardous conditions during today’s inspection. The playground is equipped with benches, climbing apparatuses, slides, and swings. All play structures and swings are securely anchored into the ground. The equipment is age-appropriate and in good repair. Trees and canopies provide shade for children during outdoor play. The playground also contains storage sheds with locks that are inaccessible to children.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02CCP.
