The UIR was received by the licensing agency on 9/12/2025. The UIR documented management being informed on 9/10/2025 of the possible personal rights violations, which included withholding food, shaming, leaving children in soiled clothes, and grabbing children by their arms. Dates and times of when this may have occurred were not provided. Upon arrival, this date on 10/16/2025, LPA Lopez met with facility ECE Coordinator Linda Rodriguez and stated the purpose of the visit. Records were reviewed and interviews were conducted with staff and children that were in attendance during the inspection. LPA Lopez obtained additional information regarding the incident. This information included details that a staff/teacher would not provide milk or water to child(ren) due to their behavior and at times being told that they were not smart. Staff/teacher would blame children for being left soiled because they did not speak up. Also, staff/teacher would raise their voice at child(ren) and placing blame on them for doing so. Please note that staff denied any and all allegations listed above. Based on the information gathered, facility failed to comply with the requirement to ensure that all children in care are accorded their Personal Rights. See LIC809-D for cited deficiency. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days.

LIC809 (FAS) - (06/04)Page: 1 of 4 FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form. DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies: Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care. Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care. PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency. CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and in
