On 09/28/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cristina Castellanos conducted an unannounced three-year required inspection at the above-referenced Family Child Care Home (FCCH). Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by Licensee Silvia Sanchez, who granted entry. Present during today’s inspection were Licensee S. Sanchez, the Licensee’s two adult children, the Licensee’s assistant, and three children in care.

The purpose of this inspection was to ensure the Licensee continues to meet the health, safety, and personal rights requirements outlined in Title 22 Regulations governing California Family Child Care Homes. The facility is licensed as a Large Family Child Care Home with a maximum capacity of 14 children. The program serves children from birth through 12 years of age and operates Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Licensee confirmed that overnight and weekend care are no longer provided.

Capacity as specified on the license was observed to be in compliance.

As of 2025, an additional unit (1619) was constructed at the rear of the property, and the home is no longer considered a single-family residence. LPA reminded the Licensee that any alterations or additions to the home or grounds must be reported to the Department prior to implementation - Type B Violation. The family child care program operates in the front unit (1617), which consists of six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, kitchen with dining area, a family room (designated day care room), and an attached garage. Families enter through the side entrance, which leads directly into the family room. Licensee stated that the family room is used for both napping and eating. A small dog and a kitten are present on the premises but are kept inaccessible to children in care.

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.

Licensee confirmed the following areas as OFF LIMITS: all six bedrooms, bathrooms 1 and 3, the attached garage, and the new rear unit (1619). LPA reminded the Licensee that all OFF LIMITS areas must remain inaccessible during operating hours and whenever children are present.

Adequate heating and ventilation were observed throughout all licensed areas. Age-appropriate toys and equipment were available and in good condition. The home maintains a working telephone.

Licensee confirmed there are no firearms or ammunition on the premises. Detergents and cleaning compounds are stored in the garage. A screened and barricaded fireplace was observed in the main living room.

LPA observed a functioning dual smoke and carbon monoxide detector and a working fire extinguisher located in the kitchen. LPA reminded the Licensee to maintain documentation of annual fire extinguisher servicing.

Licensee reported that no children currently require medication, and no medication is accepted at this time.

The Licensee ensures visual supervision of children at all times and understands that children may never be left unattended in parked vehicles. Car seats are used only for transportation, not sleeping.

Safe Sleep regulations were reviewed due to the program’s capacity to care for infants. Licensee maintains one crib or play yard per infant. All sleep equipment is free of loose items, and nothing is hung above or attached to cribs or play yards. Infants are not swaddled while in care. The provider conducts and documents 15-minute physical checks on sleeping infants, monitoring for signs of distress including flushed skin, increased body temperature, restlessness, or labored breathing. Infants sleeping in separate rooms remain within visual range through an open door. Infants up to 12 months of age are placed on their backs to sleep. The Individual Infant Sleeping Plan (LIC 9227) was reviewed.
