Routine inspection·April 15, 2026

On 4/15/26, at 8:59AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Seena Parsapour conducted an unannounced Annual/Required inspection of the abovementioned Child Care Center (CCC). LPA met with Director Grace Peiris and explained the nature & purpose of the inspection. LPA, in the company of Director, toured the interior and exterior of the CCC. The CCC operates Monday-Friday from 7:30am-5:30pm. The facility uses one classroom (denoted Classroom 1) divided into two (2) sections for infant care purposes. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed nine (9) infants under the care & supervision of four (4) staff members, including Director (cleared and associated). The CCC is clean and orderly. LPA observed required licensing forms and documents posted near the entrance of the CCC. At 9:01AM, by record review and upon interviewing Director, LPA determined that the LIC 610 - Emergency Disaster Plan for Child Care Centers - was incomplete, as two (2) temporary relocation sites & respective addresses were not listed. LPA discussed with Director who understood that this document must be updated to reflect two (2) appropriate temporary relocation sites complete with addresses listed. A Technical Violation (TV) was issued. LPA observed the daily routine/schedule posted prominently in the classroom. LPA notes the CCC maintains paper Sign In/Out forms on file. LPA notes the forms contain the arrival and departure times of infants in care and well as the signatures of the infants' authorized representatives. At 9:31AM, during record review of the Sign In/Out logs, LPA discovered that on 4/09/2026 and 4/10/2026, historical records indicate Child #08 (C8) & C3, respectively, were not signed out as the "time out" and "Print name" columns were left blank. LPA discussed the requirement for sign in/out logs to be properly completed for all children in care, during each day of operation. Director confirmed their understanding of this requirement and advised LPA they will discuss the requirement with parents of children enrolled. A Technical Violation (TV) is being issued. (Cont. 809-C, Page 2) The classrooms have age-appropriate equipment and furnishings available to infants in care. At 10:56AM, LPA observed Child #01 (C1), who was accompanied by their therapist, to be playing inside Classroom 1, which - per interview with Director and record review - is the classroom designated for infant-aged children. LPA discussed the commingling issue with Director, and advised Director that C1 must be relocated to a classroom designated for the use of preschool-aged children, and observed on-site correction as C1 and their therapist relocated to Classroom 2. LPA observed disinfectants, cleaning solutions, sharps, and other hazardous items in the classroom stored in areas inaccessible to infants in care. Medications in the CCC are stored in an area inaccessible to infants, and a refrigerator in the kitchen area is used to store food for infants in care. Milk, food, and snacks are provided by the parents of infants in care, and are stored in individually labeled containers for each infant, inside a refrigerator. At 1:14PM, by interview with Director, LPA confirmed that the CCC does not maintain supplemental food on site for infants. Director advised LPA that parents are instructed to bring their own food for infants in care. LPA advised Director of the requirement that food be available for infants in care in the event that the infant's authorized representative forgets to bring it, and confirmed their understanding. LPA observed a first aid kit available in the CCC. LPA observed a smoke detector, fire suppression system, and carbon monoxide detector in the CCC, but the detectors were not tested as it was nap time for infants in care during the inspection. During the inspection, LPA observed a mattress that was not in good repair as the foam substrate was exposed through a tear in the synthetic cover material, and Director advised the mattress is being set aside and is not being used for infants in care. Director advised LPA that the mattress will be discarded and replaced. A Technical Advisory (TA) is being issued. A changing station for infants in care was observed within arm’s reach of a sink, and was found in safe, sanitary, and operating condition. LPA observed feeding, sleeping, and changing logs being completed & maintained on file. The CCC uses filtered drinking water for infants at the facility. LPA notes the outdoor play area is fully enclosed. LPA observed the entry/exit points to be secured. LPA observed age-appropriate toys & play equipment in the outdoor play area. The play equipment is free of sharp, loose or pointed objects. LPA notes that shade is available in the outdoor play area. LPA reminded Director that outdoor play equipment and furnishings should be replaced when such items begin to degrade or are no longer in good repair. LPA notes the outdoor play area is not used for infants in care, but rather, for toddlers and preschool aged children. No bodies of water were observed on site. (Cont. 809-C, Page 3) LPA reviewed children’s records for the nine (9) infants present at the time of the inspection. At 12:43PM, by interview with Director and record review, LPA determined that the LIC701 was not on file for Child #03 (C3). Director advised LPA that they will follow up with the parent of C3 to obtain this completed document. The infants’ records reviewed were found otherwise to be current & complete. LPA reviewed staff records for the four (4) staff members present at the time the inspection began, which were found to be current & complete as well, including AB1207 compliant Mandated Reporter Training certification, and Pediatric 1st Aid & CPR Training Certification, among other required documents. LPA notes the most recent fire/disaster drill occurred on 3/19/2026. The CCC maintains a current facility roster listing infants in care. No firearms or ammunition are stored on site. This facility does not currently provide Incidental Medical Services – IMS. LPA reviewed storage of medication and equipment/supplies, and reviewed infants’, personnel, and administrative records.

CCCs constructed before January 1, 2010, are required to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1- CCP). At 10:31am, by interview with Director, LPA determined that the lead testing document was not on file. LPA notes that during the 8/05/2025 annual/random inspection, the lead testing document was on file and reviewed by LPAs Brian Fung & Laura Carone. LPA discussed with Director the requirement to maintain this document on file at the facility for review. Director confirmed their understanding of this requirement. LPA observed filtered drinking water available for infants in care, by way of two (2) Brita brand filtered water pitchers. (Cont. 809-C, Page 4) LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with Director 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. LPA also informed Director 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 devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment. Director was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org website; a consumer education website that helps families obtain child care by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.
