Present today were twenty-four (24) children (11 toddlers/13 preschool age) and five (5) fingerprint cleared staff personnel. The purpose of today's visit is to follow up on the facilities pick up/drop off procedures. During the complaint investigation inspection on 9/22/25, LPA Dacanay-Breaux observed parents waiting outside the entrance of the facility to drop off/pick up their children. LPA also noted the sign on the door that read "doorbell is broken" and had a telephone number to call to gain entry. LPA Dacanay-Breaux and parents present called the number listed but there was no answer. Per Center Director, owner and staff, parents do not enter the facility for pick up or drop offs and must receive their child at the facilities entrance. Facility's Parent Handbook of Policies and procedures states that, "Caregivers will be asked to drop off and pick up their child at the entryway of the facility and a staff member will proceed with taking the student into their classroom and checking them in." Based on record review, interviews and observations by the LPAs, this facility is being issued a Type B citation for a violation of parents rights. See LIC809D for deficiency information and Plan of correction. Notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Report read and appeal rights given to Center Director Nirupama Bajpai.

FACILITY REPRESENTATIVE SIGNATURE: DATE: 11/03/2025 This report must be available at Child Care and Group Home facilities for public review for 3 years. LIC809 (FAS) - (06/04)Page: 1 of 3 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 information given.
