On September 15, 2026, at 12:25 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods met with Licensee Nalanda Elangovan to conduct an Unannounced Annual Random Inspection. The facility operates as a large family child care home licensed for a capacity of fourteen (14) children. At the time of the inspection, there were no children present or being supervised by the licensee. LPA toured the facility with the licensee, both inside and outside, to conduct a health and safety inspection.

The facility is a two-story townhouse owned and operated by the licensee. The home consists of four (4) bedrooms, two (2) full bathrooms and one-half bathroom, a living room used as the child care room, kitchen, dining room, rear patio, laundry area, and rear carport. LPA asked the licensee whether there were any firearms in the home or whether transportation was provided for children in care. The licensee stated that there are no firearms in the home and that she does not provide transportation for children in care. The facility's current hours of operation are Monday through Friday, from 12:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

The on-limit areas of the home are the living room, half bathroom located on the main level near the laundry room, and the rear yard/patio area. The designated isolation area is the living room, where an ill child would be separated from other children in care while remaining under supervision.

The home was observed to be clean, orderly, and well maintained. The home is equipped with centralized heating and ventilation to provide for the safety and comfort of children in care. The kitchen, laundry area, and staircase are secured with gates/barriers to prevent children from freely accessing these areas.

The off-limit areas are the entire second level of the home, kitchen, laundry area, and rear carport. These areas are made inaccessible to children by closed and/or locked doors and visual supervision.

Around 12:45 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) asked the licensee whether she was providing Incidental Medical Services (IMS) to children in care, and the licensee stated that she was not.


LPA discussed the Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy with the licensee. LPA advised the licensee that when any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice)/ (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.

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.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

The licensee has not conducted or documented any fire or disaster drills in recent months because no children have been enrolled in care. LPA reminded the licensee that fire and disaster drills must be conducted and documented at least once every six months once children are enrolled and receiving care. No children's files were reviewed during today's inspection because no children are currently enrolled. The licensee's Health and Safety training has been completed, and the licensee's CPR and First Aid certification is current and expires in November 2026. Additionally, the licensee completed the required Mandated Reporter Training on March 18, 2025. All required licensing documents were posted and visible for public review.

LPA inspected the cabinets and storage areas throughout the on-limit areas of the home, including the living room and half bathroom. No hazardous materials, cleaning supplies, medications, or other toxic substances were observed to be accessible to children during today's inspection. LPA tested the dual smoke & carbon monoxide detector located in the dining room and verified that it was functioning properly. The home is equipped with a working telephone, a fully stocked first aid kit, a pull-down fi re alarm system, and a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher that meets the standards established by the State Fire Marshal.

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.



At 1:15 PM, LPA inspected the rear yard/patio area and confirmed that no pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water were present, in compliance with child care licensing regulations. The outdoor play area is fully fenced and was observed to be free of defects and dangerous conditions. A canopy provides shade and protection from harmful sunlight during outdoor play. A shed is located in the backyard and is secured with a lock to prevent children from accessing equipment and tools stored inside.

Effective August 1, 2003, California Law requires Family Child Care Home licensees to report unusual incidents or injuries to children in care to children’s parents and to the Department of Social Services using the Unusual Incident/Injury form (LIC 624B). Incidents must be reported within 24 hours by phone, fax, or electronic mail. The licensee was also reminded that Mandated Reporter Training ("General" and "Child Care Providers") is required for all staff and is to be renewed every 2 years by visiting www.mandatedreporterca.com.
