Upon arrival, LPA met with a staff member, who explained that the director was out today and that another designated representative was on site. LPA met with the designated facility representative, Tom Limbert and explained the purpose of the day's visit. In addition to the designated facility representative, there were five staff (three teachers and two aides) present supervising 31 preschool children. The facility remains within its capacity limits and meets the required ratios for today’s visit. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 8:00AM to 5:30PM. Facility operates from Bethany United Methodist. Facility is a two floor building. Licensed Program operates on first floor, and the second floor is for staff use only. LPA observed that all required documents, such as the facility license, notification of parents’ rights, personal rights, car seat laws, emergency disaster plan, earthquake preparedness checklist, monthly menus, daily activities schedule, and the previous notice of site visit were displayed and visible to the public in the entry way where children are dropped off and picked up by parents and caregivers. During today's visit LPA did a physical plant inspection to check for health and safety hazards and a file review to verify the completion of the facilities plan of correction. In an unlocked classroom closet, LPA observed a bottle of Tylenol in a basket on the back of the door less than 18 inches from the floor. LPA informed the facility representative that medications need to be inaccessible to children. LPA observed that the bottle was placed on a shelf inaccessible to children. continued on page two NAME OF LICENSING PROGRAM MANAGER: Daniel J Oquendo NAME OF LICENSING PROGRAM ANALYST: Katie Krenn LICENSING PROGRAM ANALYST SIGNATURE: DATE: 07/15/2025 I acknowledge receipt of this form and understand my licensing appeal rights as explained and received.

LIC809 (FAS) - (06/04)Page: 1 of 5 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.

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
