On January 21, 2026, at 11:35am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Zirbes, met with facility representative Victoria Haddad to conduct an unannounced case management inspection. The purpose of the case management was to follow up on a self-reported unusual incident report (UIR) submitted to the Department on December 19, 2025. The unusual incident report was regarding a food service incident that occurred on December 15, 2025, and involved eight preschool children in attendance. Upon arrival today, there were 14 preschool children in care with one teacher, one aide, one volunteer and two support staff and the administrator on site. During this inspection, interviews were conducted with staff and facility records were reviewed. In addition, LPA conducted a review of the food service areas at approximately 12:00pm. Based on facility records and conducted interviews, the Department determined that on December 15, 2025, spoiled commercial food was served and consumed by at least one preschool child for lunch. The spoiled food was therefore not fit for human consumption. One type A deficiency is being cited in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 22, see LIC 809D.
