Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeanette Estrada conducted an unannounced case management inspection at the facility to follow up on an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) submitted to the Department on 7/13/26. LPA met with Director Dr. Melita Ferguson and advised her of the reason for the visit. There were 10 children and 8 staff present during today's inspection.

It was reported that on 7/13/26 Child 1 (C1) and Child 2 (C2) ran out of their classroom and ran outside to the play yard. Per the report, staff heard the children and ran after them reaching them outside in less than one minute's time. On 7/15/26 LPA conducted a visit at the facility for an initial follow up. LPA conducted staff interviews. During today's visit, LPA concluded staff interviews and reviewed pertinent documents related to the incident. Based on interviews, C1 and C2 were in their classroom with their peers and with Staff 1 and Staff 2. There were a total of 6 children in the classroom that day. Staff 1 was with a group of children when they observed C1 and C2 run out of the classroom into the hallway. Staff 1 informed Staff 2 who was helping another child wash their hands. Per Staff 1, they observed Staff 2 quickly exit the classroom and walk towards the hallway after the children while they stayed with the rest of the class.

Based on interview with Staff 3, they heard footsteps and giggling from their office and walked over near the area. They stated they didn't observe the children at the time that they walked down the hallway. Per Staff 3, they did see Staff 2 making their way down the hallway. They then heard the push door that leads to the toddler play yard open and close and they quickly made their way down the hall towards that area. Per interviews the children were reached by staff soon after they made their way outside. They were outside for less than one minute. Children were returned to their classroom. Parents were notified by staff.

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.

Although the children did exit the classroom without direct supervision, the staff responded quickly enough that they were able to follow behind them. The facility is fully enclosed. The yard the children ran into is fully enclosed as well.
