Correction check·February 13, 2026

On 2/13/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with facility representative Paolo Sarmiento for the purpose of a plan of correction visit. Upon arrival, LPA observed a census of 17 preschool children supervised by 4 staff. The licensee was previously cited a type B deficiency on 1/8/2026 due to the director of the facility serving as director at a second center, without a separate qualified director being employed individually for the second center. The plan of correction stated that the licensee will provide LPA with a new directors packet for either this current location or the 801 Sterling Parkway infant center by the POC due date of 2/6/2026 and that the packet can be submitted by mail to 9835 Goethe Rd, Ste 100, Sacramento, CA 95827. Licensee proposed a candidate to licensing but did not follow through on hiring the individual and did not submit a director's packet. Therefore, the plan of correction was not fulfilled. A civil penalty of $700 is assessed for failure to correct a deficiency (see LIC421FC). The civil penalty will accrue $100 a day until the deficiency is corrected by licensee providing a director's packet for a designated new director. During the visit, LPA additionally observed that the facility has outstanding unpaid annual fees of $1,936.00. Licensee reached out to the office to inquire about payments, but stated that they missed a responding email detailing instructions for paying the fees. A Type B deficiency is cited for not adhering to payment requirements for applicable fees. A Title 22 deficiency is cited on the subsequent pages of this report Report continues on LIC809-C Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility representative, Paolo Sarmiento. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. LPA provided appeal rights.
