On 12/05/2025 Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Cristina Castellanos and Brittany Lovest conducted an unannounced case management inspection for the purpose of ensuring the standards are being met in accordance with California Tittle 22 Regulations and California Health and Safety Codes. During today’s inspection, nine (9) children and two (2) adult staff members were present in Classroom 2. Per the facility’s license, the toddler program serves children ages 18 months to 24 months. Furthermore, LPAs Castellanos and Lovest observed one toddler (C6) 18 months of age consistently commingling with eight preschool-aged children throughout the day. The oldest preschool-aged child present during today’s inspection was five and a half years old. The commingling occurred during multiple routine activities, including arrival, lunch, and nap time. According to staff members S3 and S4 Room 1 is the designated classroom for toddlers. However, during the inspection Room 1 was not being used for C6 upon LPAs arrival. LPA Castellanos informed licensee Rivera and staff members on 11/07/2025 , 11/10/2025 and during today’s inspection that in accordance with Title 22, Regulation 101216.4(a)(2), “The toddler program shall be conducted in areas physically separate from those used by older or younger children.” The observed commingling during today’s inspection is not in compliance with this regulation.
