Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Annual/Random Inspection on 07/23/2025 and was met by Licensee Saidy Valenzuela. The licensee primarily speaks Spanish, and LPA provided interpretation assistance throughout the visit. Licensee Saidy Valenzuela stated that her current daycare hours are Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

LPA conducted a walkthrough of the home, both indoors and outdoors, and took a census of the children present. A review of the facility sketch confirmed that the kitchen, bathroom, and living room are used for providing care and are accessible to children. All other rooms are off-limits and made inaccessible using baby gates and doorknob spinners.

The licensee has six small dogs and one cat. LPA reminded Licensee Saidy Valenzuela that she is responsible for the safety of children in care and for any injuries related to her pets.

There is an in-ground swimming pool in the backyard, which is fenced and made inaccessible to children. The pool gate is self-latching, self-closing, and opens away from the pool. There are no windows or doors that provide direct access to the pool area.

LPA discussed the new pool safety requirements under AB 2866, which went into effect on 01/01/2025, and informed the licensee that Provider Information Notice (PIN) 25-01-CCP was issued on 01/06/2025 outlining these requirements. During today’s inspection, the pool was found to be generally in compliance with AB 2866. However, LPA issued a Technical Advisory Note regarding the life ring.

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.

On 07/23/2025, LPA observed that while a life ring was present, it could not be confirmed as approved by the United States Coast Guard. As per Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 1596.814(a)(2)(A), an in-ground pool must have a life ring with a minimum exterior diameter of 17 inches, clearly labeled as approved by the U.S. Coast Guard.

LPA tested the pool alarm with Licensee Saidy Valenzuela. The alarm was successfully triggered by splashing water and was observed to be in proper working condition, meeting ASTM F2208 standards as required by AB 2866. LPA also observed a 12-foot rescue pole with a body hook. All pool safety equipment was visible and accessible in the event of an emergency.

Licensee Saidy Valenzuela stated she will follow up with proof of purchase for a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life ring after her husband returns home from work this evening.

The fenced backyard has cement and artificial turf, with a patio porch providing shade. LPA observed patio furniture, two Step 2 plastic playhouses, and other safe toys for children.

Additionally, LPA observed the six dogs kept in a separate doghouse located in the off-limits portion of the backyard. LPA reminded Licensee Saidy Valenzuela that she is responsible for ensuring children’s safety at all times, including protection from pets.

There are no firearms or ammunition on the premises. All poisons are stored in locked cabinets, and none were observed during the inspection. Cleaning compounds, detergents, medications, and other hazardous items are made inaccessible to children.

There are no fireplaces or open-face heaters in the home. The facility has a working fire extinguisher, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and adequate heating and ventilation for safety and comfort.

This is a two-story, five-bedroom, three-bathroom home. The upstairs area is off-limits to children and is made inaccessible by a child safety gate at the base of the stairs. Children in care remain downstairs, where supervision is provided in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and hallway bathroom. Off-limit rooms and areas are secured with lever locks and door latches. LPA did not observe a fireplace in the home. Safe toys and play equipment were observed throughout the facility. The home has working telephone service, and LPA verified the contact number as (209) 505-7181.

Licensee Saidy Valenzuela ensures that children are supervised at all times and understands that children must never be left unattended in parked vehicles. The outdoor play area in the backyard is fenced and free of hazards. Capacity limits as specified on the license are being maintained.

Licensee’s Mandated Reporter Training is valid through 06/17/2026, and her Pediatric CPR/First Aid certification is valid through 06/2026. A review of records confirmed that all staff and volunteers have required immunizations for influenza, pertussis, and measles.

Licensee Saidy Valenzuela was reminded that all adults 18 years and older living or working in the home, including employees and volunteers (except as specified in Health and Safety Code Section 1596.871), must have a criminal record clearance or exemption on file before being present in the licensed Family Child Care Home. Failure to comply may result in a civil penalty of at least $100 per day, up to 5 days, or 30 days for repeat violations.

LPA discussed Safe Sleep regulations and referred Licensee Saidy Valenzuela to the Safe Sleep webpage at:
https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep
