On 06/11/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jennifer "Jen" Beehler conducted an unannounced Case Management/ Incident inspection. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by the Co-Director, Shirley Tung and provided access to the facility. LPA stated the reason for the visit was to investigate the self reported incident that occurred on 06/04/2026. LPA arrived during the resting period, therefore, classrooms with napping children were not inspected as to not disturb children while sleeping.

Co-Director Shirley Tung stated there were 16 preschool children and four (4) staff (2 - Director/ 2 - Teachers) present which is compliant with ratio and capacity requirements.

Through interviews and written statements it was determined that on 06/04/2026 a name to face check was completed at 10:45 AM confirming 15 children were present with two (2) teachers (Staff #2 (S2) and Staff #3 (S3). When the name to face was conducted at 10:55 AM, child #1 (C1) was unaccounted for by Staff #1 (S1). During this time, Co-Director Shirley Tung arrived on the playground to confirm staff breaks were concluding. S2 opened the classroom door with Director present and walked into the classroom and observed C1 about five (5) feet inside the classroom near the floor stickers used to create lines with the children. The Director stated C1 was not in distress, but appeared happy. Staff lead C1 back to the playground to resume play time.

The Co-Director stated an investigation was immediately conducted by interviewing all staff to determine when the child had left the playground and walked to the classroom.

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.

Licensee reviewed transitional procedures with staff, conducted a training and required staff to provide written statements of the incident and to confirm additional training was completed. Licensee contacted the groundskeeper for the campus and requested a digital key pad to be installed on the exterior of the classroom door so that it can only be opened by staff members. The Co-Director confirmed the key pad was installed by the end of that day.

The Co-Director contacted C1's parents and notified them of the incident and contacted Licensing to provide a verbal report. Licensee followed up with a written report which was received by the Department on 06/05/2026.

During today's inspection, LPA collected the updated facility roster, written statements from all staff present during the incident, the name to face log used on the day of the incident, along with reference materials used to conduct staff training on 06/05/2026. LPA toured the facility grounds and interviewed the staff.

LPA observed all staff present had criminal record clearance. Some staff were associated to the Guardian Roster for this facility and some were associated to the Central Administrative Facility License which is #434404336.

LPA asked Co-Director Cheryl Damato if the Stratford corporate office typically handles the criminal record clearance and roster association and she stated that they do. It was determined that the current waiver was missing this facility number to be included in the corporate waiver that is currently active for Stratford Schools
Co-Director will work with the Licensee to provide a waiver request to add this facility number to the Central Administrative license and would ensure all staff associated to this license will be moved to the central administrative license if the Department approves the addition of their license number to the waiver. LPA will follow up with the Director Damato to complete this process.

As a result of today's inspection, one (1) Type B Deficiency is cited. Exit interview conducted with the Director. Report was reviewed and provided to the Director, Cheryl Damato, along with appeal rights.

A NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS GIVEN AND MUST REMAIN POSTED FOR 30 DAYS.
