On 10/14/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lady Cabrera conducted an unannounced case management visit and met with Director Maria Lopez. LPA toured the facility, and a census was taken. The purpose of this inspection was to follow up on an unusual incident report.

On 10/09/2026, the Director contacted Community Care Licensing (CCL) regarding an Unusual Incident involving Child 1 (C1), who was found unsupervised in the outdoor play area. LPA reviewed facility records, the 10/09/2026 video footage, and conducted staff interviews.

Based on the video footage and staff interviews, Child 1 was unsupervised for approximately 11 minutes. LPA was provided with the video footage as evidence.

According to staff interviews, the incident occurred during the transition from the outdoor play area to the classroom. Staff reported they conducted a count, and both staff counted 16 children; there were two staff present. Staff did not conduct a final sweep of the outdoor play area, and Child 1 was not accounted for. Video footage shows Child 1 remained inside a blue fabric tunnel located on the south backside of the playground.


Child 1 remained inside the blue fabric tunnel as staff and children exited the outdoor play area. After they left, the child came out of the tunnel, walked toward the play structure, and was alone with no staff present.

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 child approached the chain-link gate, repeatedly pushing, pulling, kicking, and banging on it while staying in the shed area and attempting to open chain-link gate. The child also rubbed their eyes several times. After approximately 11 minutes, Staff 1 opened the gate and motioned for the child to come, and the child exited the outdoor play area with Staff 1.

Child 1, a three-year-old, was left unsupervised outside in the play area. A three-year-old child who is not accounted for and is without adult supervision faces an immediate risk of harm. The absence of active and continuous supervision created conditions that could have resulted in serious injury or other imminent safety hazards.

Based on staff interviews, video footage, and records reviewed, staff failed to provide adequate and active supervision of Child 1. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and a care and supervision violation has occurred.

Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, the deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 809D.


LPA Lady Cabrera informed Director Maria Lopez that this report dated 10/14/2026 document one (1) Type A citation which shall be posted for 30 consecutive days as there is immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of children in care. Also, LPA Cabrera informed the Director Maria Lopez to provide a copy of this licensing report dated 10/14/2026 that documents any Type A citation to parents/guardians of all children currently enrolled by the next business day or the next day the children are in care, and to any newly enrolled parents/guardians for 12 months from the date of this report. A signed Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Report (LIC 9224), or other written statement, must be placed in the child's file for verification.

A copy of the Fact Sheet - Child Care Parent Notification Requirements and a copy of LIC 9224 Acknowledgement of Receipt of Licensing Reports was given to Director
