LPM De Luca defined the difference between a non-compliance conference and an informal meeting. LPM advised that the purpose of today’s meeting is to help the facility staff gain compliance. Today’s informal meeting is to discuss a Type A citation issued 6/04/25 for a Personal Rights violation. On 5/21/25, the facility self-reported an Unusual Incident which occurred on the same day, in which a Child 1 (C1) was outside in the Toddler yard, walked over to the tile area, and sat down to get a ball. Assistant Director (AD) grabbed the ball to rinse it off in the sink. C1 began to cry and attempted to crawl over to AD. AD and Staff 2 (S2) attended to C1 and saw the burn injuries on the palms, forearms, and on the nose. Licensee stated that they have taken the following steps to maintain compliance: 1. There is a canopy provided by DGS in the Toddler Yard. 2. The Infants and Toddlers (0 to 2 years old) are not going into the yard. 3. The preschool outside yard schedules are adjusted depending on the amount of shade provided from the buildings. 4. Licensee also converted an empty Toddler 2 classroom into gross motor for the children. 5. Licensee is still working DGS for a permanent solution for the outside yard. Continue on LIC809-C...

FACILITY REPRESENTATIVE SIGNATURE: DATE: 06/23/2025 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.
