LPA was greeted with Site Supervisor, Melanie Murphy and explained the purpose of the visit. Present during the inspection were a total of four champion staff and four Child Care Careers (CCC) substitutes supervising a total of 79 school age children. At approximately 1:45pm, LPA observed Acting Director, Gesmyne Bell arrive to the facility. Per Gesmyne, she went to submit paperwork to CCLD office. LPA explained the purpose of the visit to Gesmyne Bell. At approximately 1:35pm, LPA started to walked through the classrooms to count the children and staff. At approximately 1:40pm, LPA observed the cafeteria/multipurpose room had 29 ( 3 rd -5 th ) school age children with one champion aide and one CCC sub that has no units. Facility has been cited for over capacity and aides not working under direct supervision of a teacher on multiple occasions. These are two separate failures to correct violations that will result in two Type A citations and civil penalties. LPA also observed a cooking class that is not part of champions in the cafeteria/Multipurpose room with champion children and staff. LPA observed and verified all staff through Guardian roster and found that there are still two Champion staff that are present and are not associated to the facility. LPA has cited this facility on 2/05/26 and 2/20/26. This is a failure to correct and repeat violation that will result in a Type A citation and civil penalties. During inspection, LPA was typing the report in the classroom and observed children walking into the classroom without any staff present. LPA cited for lack of supervision on 2/20/26. This is a failure to correct violation that will result in a Type A citation and civil penalties. Continued on Page 2... Page 2 Continued... LPA observed that the report from 2/20/26 was not fully posted. On 2/20/26 LPA provided a five-page report and only three pages of the report was posted. This is a repeated violation and will result in civil penalties. LPA also reviewed children files and observed that there are still children who are missing the LIC 9224 for 2/05/26, 2/09/26, 2/11/26, and 2/20/26. Per Gesmyne, the children that were enrolled last week did not get the LIC 9224 with a copy of the report for those dates. This is a repeated violation and will result in civil penalties. LPA Tapia-Mandujano informed acting Site Director, Gesmyne Bell that this report dated 2/26/26 documents six Type A citations which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there are immediate risks to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care. Also, LPA Tapia-Mandujano informed acting Site Director, Gesmyne Bell to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 2/26/26 that documents any Type A citations to parents/guardians 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/guardians 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. Deficiencies were cited today under Title 22 Division 12 of the Ca. Code of Regulations. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
