Follow-up on corrections·April 27, 2026

On 04/27/2026 , Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cristina Castellanos conducted an unannounced Case Management Inspection at the above-referenced facility to ensure compliance with California Code of Regulations, Title 22 and the California Health and Safety Code . LPA met with Staff 1 (S1) and explained the purpose of the visit. During today’s inspection, six (6) children and one (1) adult staff member were present in Classroom 2 , and three (3) toddlers and one (1) adult were present in Classroom 1. Per the facility’s license, the toddler program serves children 18 to 24 months of age . Record review, interviews, and direct observation revealed that the facility continues to commingle the toddler program with the preschool program due to insufficient staffing. § On 04/22/2026, between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., Staff 3 (S3) was left alone with two (2) toddlers and four (4) preschool children. § As of 04/23/2026, the facility continues to operate both programs with only two (2) staff members. § During today’s inspection at approximately 11:58 a.m., LPA observed three (3) toddlers transition into the preschool classroom during nap time due to S1 taking her lunch break. At that time, six (6) preschool children were present. § Staff confirmed that from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., children will continue to be commingled because only one (1) staff member is available. The facility is not in compliance with Title 22, Regulation 101216.4(a)(2), which states: “The toddler program shall be conducted in areas physically separate from those used by older or younger children.” Due to continued noncompliance, a civil penalty has been assessed. Violation: Section 101216.4(a)(2) – Preschool Program with Toddler Component (Type A) Between 09:03 a.m. and 09:14 a.m., LPA Castellanos observed multiple instances of lack of visual supervision: § Staff 2 (S2) left three (3) toddlers alone in Classroom 1 while she walked to the facility’s dumpster and then entered the preschool classroom. o At approximately 9:06 a.m., Child 1 (C1) exited the toddler classroom, ran into the preschool classroom after S2, and then returned to the toddler classroom unsupervised. o At no time did S2 appear to be visually observing or actively supervising the children. § At approximately 9:13 a.m., LPA observed S1 exit the preschool classroom and enter the toddler classroom, leaving seven (7) children in the preschool classroom without supervision. These observations demonstrate noncompliance with Section 101229(a)(1) – Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision, which states: “No children shall be left without the supervision of a teacher at any time… Supervision shall include visual observation.” The licensee failed to correct previously cited violations within the required timeframe. As a result, civil penalties have been assessed. Page 2 Interviews and LPA 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 , 12/12/2025 and 03/03/2026. Continued noncompliance constitutes a Type A violation. Pursuant to Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1 , three (3) deficiencies are cited and documented on the LIC 809-D . 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. An exit interview was conducted, and the Plan of Corrections was reviewed with S2. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided to S1, whose signature acknowledges receipt of these documents. Page 3
