Routine inspection·February 25, 2026

On 2/25/26, at 12:00 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced annual random inspection of the abovementioned Family Child Care Home (FCCH). LPA met with Jessica Diaz, Licensee of the FCCH, and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. The LPA, in the company of Licensee, toured the FCCH in its entirety (inside and outside). The FCCH uses a family room (main day care room), dining room (secondary day care space), a hallway bathroom, one guest bedroom (nap room), and backyard. At times, the other two bedrooms are used as additional napping rooms. Importantly to note, off limit areas are made inaccessible via child safety gates and locks. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed 10 children present, 4 of whom were infants. LPA also observed the Licensee's mother (an assistant) on site at the time of the inspection. LPA observed the FCCH to be clean and orderly. The bathroom, utilized for childcare, is clean and free of toxins. LPA observed bathroom cabinets to be free of any potentially hazardous items. LPA observed sharps in an elevated kitchen cabinet. Personal medications and cleaning supplies are stored in an elevated and locked cabinet in the hallway. No children currently require medication. LPA observed age-appropriate toys, furnishings, and equipment throughout the interior day care spaces. LPA observed one fireplaces in the household. The fireplace is barricaded by various objects and furnishings. LPA observed relevant licensing forms and documents posted prominently to a wall at the entry way of the residence. LPA observed separate carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in the home. The detectors were tested at 12:25 PM and 12:28 PM, respectively, and each were found to be operational. LPA observed a regulation fire extinguisher in the FCCH which was last serviced on 12/5/25. LPA reminded the Licensee to either service or purchase a regulation fire extinguisher annually. LPA reviewed the FCCH's (CONT. 809-C, Page 2) fire/disaster drill log. The most recent disaster drill occurred on 2/4/26. LPA reminded Licensee that drills are conducted every six months. As aforementioned, the backyard is accessible to children in care. The FCCH's outdoor area is enclosed by secure wooden fencing and a cement wall (residence is behind a neighboring school). The fence\342\200\231s entry/exit points are secure. As is the case with the interior of the FCCH, the outdoor areas have age-appropriate play structures, toys, and other equipment throughout the area that can afford for robust childcare services. Licensee was reminded to replace toys and play equipment which start to degrade or are not in good repair. The footing of the exterior is varied. The surface is made up of natural grass and concrete pavement. LPA did not observe any bodies of water on site and confirmed that this was the case with the Licensee. LPA did not observe any pets at the time of the inspection, however, Licensee informed LPA that there is usually one large dog on site. Licensee informed LPA that the dog\342\200\231s vaccination records are current and that the pet has regular interactions with children in care. LPA also observed one large shed in the backyard in an inaccessible area. The shed was locked and contains yard work and household supplies. LPA reminded Licensee of practicing active supervision over children and to regularly inspect the yard to ensure the area is suitable for children in care. LPA reviewed children's records. The records are current, complete, and possessed emergency contact information and immunization records, among other relevant licensing documents and forms. The Licensee's records were also reviewed. Licensee completed their CPR/First Aid Training (EMSA approved) on 11/13/26 and their Mandated Reporter Training on 11/12/25. Licensee was reminded to renew certifications and training prior to expirations. The Licensee informed LPA that there are no firearms or ammunition that are stored on site. The Licensee does not currently provide Incidental Medical Services (IMS) or administer medication to children in care. For IMS information see PIN 22-02CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Family Child Care Homes and the ADA, available at: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm . LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with Licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. Through interview and record review, LPA confirmed that the Licensee checks and documents napping infants every 15 minutes. LPA also informed Licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant (CONT. 809-C, Page 3) devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
