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.

Drinking water is available both indoors and outdoors. It is provided through a water dispenser and disposable cups. The facility provides meals to children, including breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Food is prepared on site. Menus are posted at least one week in advance in a location accessible to an authorized representative.

Capacity and limitations as specified on the license are being maintained. At least one person trained in CPR and Pediatric First Aid is present when children are at the facility or participating in offsite activities. The name of the child care center director or the fully qualified teacher(s) designated to act in the director’s absence has been reported to the Department. All children are under the supervision, including visual supervision, of a teacher at all times. The facility meets the required teacher-child ratios.

LPA reviewed a sample of children’s files and observed that files were complete with contact information for authorized representatives, relatives, or others who can assume responsibility for the child, as well as medical assessments. LPA also reviewed a sample of staff files and observed that they were complete with health screenings, immunization records for influenza, pertussis, and measles, and current documentation of completed mandated reporter training.

LPA discussed the Community Care Licensing website (www.ccld.ca.gov), which provides access to resources such as forms, regulations, Provider Information Notices (PINs), and Quarterly Updates. LPA also discussed Reporting Requirements as outlined in the regulations (Section 101212).

Center Supervisor Claudia Vazquez was reminded that all adults 18 and over, 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 Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 per day, for a maximum of 5 days (or for a maximum of 30 days per person in the case of a repeat violation), will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water used for drinking and food preparation for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and every five years thereafter. For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee must test the water within 180 days of licensure, pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). LPA verified that lead testing was completed in accordance with the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP. LPA referred the facility representative to the Department’s website for lead testing information: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/water-testing-information.

This facility provides Incidental Medical Services (IMS). LPA reviewed the storage of medication and equipment/supplies, as well as children’s, personnel, and administrative records. For more information on IMS, see PIN 22-02-CCP. The following Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) resources were also provided: U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY), and the publication “Commonly Asked Questions About Child Care Centers and the ADA,” available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-carecenters/.

Center Supervisor Claudia Vazquez was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org website, a consumer education resource that helps families find child care by connecting them with providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.

An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Center Supervisor Claudia Vazquez. Appeal Rights were provided.

Per Title 22, Division 12, of the California Code of Regulations, no deficiencies are cited.

This report shall be made available to the public upon request. LIC 9213, Notice of Site Visit, was provided and is required to be posted for 30 days.
