Follow-up on corrections·December 9, 2025

In conjunction with another inspection on 12/09/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Deschampe conducted a case management inspection. At 9:03 AM, LPA entered the facility via an unlocked security gate. LPA met with Facility Representative/Assistant Director, Kristine Fernandez and explained the purpose of the visit. Total census was 19 infants with 6 staff. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on this date, 12/09/2025 indicates all facility staff and other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 10142 9 Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision for Infants (a) In addition to Section 101229, the following shall apply: (1) Each infa nt shall be constantly supervised and under direct visual observation and supervision by a staff person at all times. At approximately 10:00 AM, LPA and FR exited the hallway of the classroom building and observed an infant, Child 1 (C1) near the facility office, at the back gate entrance to the church grounds/staff break area. There was 11 infants (under 24 months) and 4 staff were observed in the outdoor infant play area, towards the preschool playground and climbing equipment (plastic tree). The closest staff was approximately 38 feet from C1. FR immediately walked with C1 to the closest staff, Staff 1 (S1). S1 stated another staff member had walked out to go on break and C1 followed. FR immediately reminded all infant staff to count infants regularly in order to maintain visual supervision at all times. This poses as an immediate Health, Safety, or Personal Rights risk to persons in care. CCR Section 101238 Buildings and Grounds (a) The child care center shall be clean, safe, sanitary and in good repair at all times to ensure the safety and well-being of children, employees and visitors. At 9:03 AM, while LPA was walking toward the security gate a parent with 2 children entered the facility but the security gate did not latch. Approximately 20 seconds later, LPA arrived at the security which was not locked and LPA entered the facility without entering the security gate code. This LPA informed the FR who immediately sent all parents a text message via ProCare regarding the matter. This poses as a potential Health, Safety, or Personal Rights risk to persons in care if left unaddressed. LPA informed FR to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 12/09/2025 that documents any Type A citation to parents/authorized representatives 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/authorized representatives 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. After the inspection, the following deficiencies were observed and are being cited on the attached LIC 809-D and LIC 9102 in accordance with California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22 Division 12 Chapter 3: CCR Section 101429(a) Responsibility for Providing Care and Supervision for Infants (LIC809-D) CCR Section 101238(a) Buildings and Grounds (LIC 9102) Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility representative/assistant director, Kristine Fernandez. Appeal Rights were discussed with facility representative. The facility representative was provided a copy of the appeal rights (LIC 9058 ) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights.
