Follow-up on corrections·March 3, 2026

On 03/02/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cristina Castellanos conducted an unannounced Case Management Inspection at the above-referenced facility to ensure compliance with California Title 22 Regulations and the California Health and Safety Code. Upon arrival, LPA met with Staff 1 and Staff 2 (S1 & S2) and explained the purpose of the visit. Facility Observations During today’s inspection, LPA observed the following staffing and supervision patterns: § Five preschool children in care with two staff members (S1 & S2). § Three toddlers in care with one staff member (S3). A total of eight children in care with three staff members providing supervision. Record review, interviews, and direct observation revealed that S3 does not meet the required qualifications to be alone with toddler-age children . Upon LPA’s arrival, and during the period when S1 left the facility from 11:12 a.m. to 12:46 p.m., S3 was solely responsible for three toddlers , while S2 remained in the preschool classroom with five children. This constitutes a Type B violation for failure to meet staffing qualification requirements under Title 22. Director Qualifications Further review of personnel records, interviews with relevant staff, and LPA’s observations indicate that the facility has not had a qualified Director since September 2025 . The facility has been previously cited for noncompliance with Section 101215.1(b) – Child Care Center Director Qualifications and Duties on 11/07/2025, 11/10/2025, and 12/12/2025 . Continued noncompliance constitutes a Type A violation. Continue Pursuant to Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1 of the California Code of Regulations, two (2) deficiencies are cited for violations of Title 22 requirements. These deficiencies are documented on the LIC 809-D (Type A and Type B). Upon receipt of this report, the Licensee must post the Notice of Site Visit and any licensing report documenting a Type A deficiency for 30 consecutive days . Failure to maintain required posting will result in an immediate $100 civil penalty. A copy of this report must be provided to all currently enrolled parents/guardians by the next business day or upon return. For the next 12 months, a copy must also be provided to parents/guardians of newly enrolled children. The Acknowledgment of Receipt of Licensing Reports (LIC 9224) must be placed in each child’s file upon receipt. A copy of the LIC 9224 was provided during today’s visit.
