Routine inspection (3-year)·April 2, 2026

On 04/02/2026 , Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cristina Castellanos conducted an unannounced 3-Year Required Inspection at the above-referenced Family Child Care Home. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by Licensee Gladys Nufio, who granted entry. Present during today’s inspection were Licensee Nufio and Licensee’s two assistants (S2 & S3)), thirteen children in care, and the Licensees’ small pet dog. Today's inspection was conducted in Spanish to ensure clear communication with the Licensee. The purpose of this inspection is to ensure that the licensee continues to meet the health, safety, and personal rights requirements outlined in Title 22 Regulations governing California Family Child Care Homes. The facility is licensed as a Large Family Child Care Home with a maximum capacity of 14 children. The program currently serves 2-month-olds through school age and operates Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Licensee does not provide overnight or weekend care. Capacity as specified on the license was observed to be in compliance. The single-family home is a two-story residence. The first level consists of one bedroom, one bathroom (used as the Licensee’s office), a living room, a kitchen, an attached garage (designated as Classroom No. 1), and a backyard with an inground swimming pool that is fully fenced. The second level consists of four bedrooms and two bathrooms. According to the Licensee, child-care activities primarily occur in Classroom No. 1 (the converted garage), the living room, and the outdoor play area. The Licensee stated that children eat and nap in the living room. Continue The Licensee confirmed the following areas are OFF LIMITS to children in care: the entire second floor, which includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms; Bedroom No. 1 (Licensee’s office on the first floor); the kitchen; and the fenced-in pool area. The Licensee also confirmed that the small pet dog is kept away from children during operating hours. LPA reminded the Licensee that all off-limits areas must remain inaccessible at all times while children are present. A copy of the CAL FIRE – Office of the State Fire Marshal Information Bulletin 20-008 (issued March 19, 2021) was provided for review. Families enter the home through the main entrance and proceed directly into Classroom no. 1 or the main living space. LPA inspected the outdoor area and observed the swimming pool, which was drained and not accessible to children in care. There are no firearms or ammunition on the premises. Hazardous materials are stored out of children’s reach; detergents and cleaning compounds are kept in locations above children’s access, ensuring all contents remain inaccessible. Licensee confirmed the home is available to take in a child that might need Incidental Medical Services. Currently there are no children that require medication. Adequate heating and ventilation were present throughout all licensed areas. Age-appropriate toys and equipment were available and in good condition. The home maintains a working telephone. Licensee confirmed that the home does provide meals and snacks to the children in care, which complies with dietary restrictions and allergies. LPA discussed the importance of maintaining clear communication among all individuals assisting with care to ensure awareness of any dietary restrictions or allergies. LPA observed working dual smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the home. LPA observed a working fire extinguisher mounted on the wall next to the Parent Board right at the entrance. LPA reminded licensee to maintain proof of an annual service for the fire extinguisher. The Licensee ensures that children are supervised at all times and understands that children must never be left in parked vehicles. Car seats are used only for transportation and not for sleeping. The “Prohibited Items in Family Child Care Page 2 Homes” flyer was observed on the Parent Board. Safe Sleep regulations were reviewed due to the program’s availability for infant care. There is one crib or play yard available for each infant. All cribs and play yards are kept free of loose items while infants sleep, and nothing is hung above or attached to them. Infants are not swaddled while in care. The provider conducts and documents physical checks on sleeping infants every fifteen minutes, noting any signs of distress such as flushed skin, increased body temperature, restlessness, or labored breathing. Infants sleeping in a separate room remain within visual observation through an open door. Infants up to 12 months of age are placed on their backs to sleep. The Individual Infant Sleeping Plan (LIC 9227) was reviewed. The Licensee’s Pediatric CPR and Pediatric First Aid certification was completed on 02/28/2025 and is valid until 02/2027. LPA reminded the Licensee of the importance of ensuring that all vendors providing Pediatric CPR and Pediatric First Aid training are approved by EMSA. LPA reviewed six children’s files and found them to be complete. LPA provided the Licensee with current copies of LIC 311D and LIC 126 for reference when auditing files. Licensee 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 obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer an existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in the home. Failure to comply will result in a civil penalty of $100 per day, per person, for up to 5 days—or up to 30 days for repeat violations. LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
