Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 04/03/25 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Martha De Haro conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection. LPA met with licensee Maria Garcia at her home, which is the licensed facility. Assistant #1 was also present. The purpose to today\342\200\231s inspection is to discuss some changes that were made to the facility without the Department\342\200\231s knowledge. During the inspection, LPA toured the facility inside and outside and a census was taken. LPA observed that licensee had added a new room (daycare room) and bathroom inside of the daycare room to her home, which she was utilizing as part of her daycare. Per licensee, she had the new additions built sometime after her Required 1 Year Inspection on 04/03/23 and stated that she did not know that she needed to notify the Department regarding the changes. LPA informed licensee that she would have to immediately stop using the room additions (daycare room and bathroom inside of daycare room) as part of her daycare. LPA informed licensee that she would need to follow the procedures for obtaining a proper city permit for the additions to her home. LPA also informed licensee that she would then need to obtain an updated fire clearance from her local fire department before being able to use the daycare room and bathroom inside of the daycare room. Licensee moved the children out of the room additions and into an approved area of her home. She agreed not to use the room additions until properly approved. LPA also went over Reporting Requirements with licensee, who verbalized that she understood the requirements. (Continued on LIC 809-C) Per Chapter 3, Division 12, Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations the following deficiencies were cited during today\342\200\231s inspection (See LIC 809-D). LPA informed licensee Ms. Garcia that this report dated 04/03/25 documents one Type A citation, which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is an immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care. Also, LPA informed the Licensee that she needs to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 04/03/25 that documents any Type A citation(s) to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted with licensee Maria Garcia and a copy of the report and appeal rights were given and discussed.
