LPA was met by the Alma Erwin, assistant director who was explained for the reason for today's visit. LPA observed 9 preschool staff and 59 preschool age napping children upon arrival. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary conducted on 08/05/2025 indicates all facility staff or other individuals who required caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. The assistant director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. There was a self reported incident received on 08/01/2025 at the CCLD Office via phone regarding an incident where Child 1 (C1) was playing with a large ball on the playground. C1 eventually ended up bouncing underneath the play structure, bumping their head while Staff 1 (S1) and Staff 2 (S2) assisted the rest of the children with lunch. C1's parent/caregiver came to pick up the child. C1 was taken to the hospital. Hospital documents reflect a laceration that required three staples. Child 1 returned to the facility on 08/04/2025.

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.

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.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections.
