25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jyoti Saini met with the facility’s person in charge, Diane Kemtz, for an unannounced Annual Random Inspection of the Infant/Toddler component of this combination daycare center. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry by staff. At the time of the inspection, there was one person in charge and seven (7) staff members supervising 22 toddlers. The facility operates out of five classrooms: Eucalyptus, Cypress, Maple, Oak, and Poplar, and runs Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The facility also includes an elementary school and middle school and is aware that toddlers cannot be commingled with elementary-aged children. The facility was inspected indoors and outdoors today for health and safety hazards, and the following was observed.
The center has a working fire alarm system, functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a fully charged fire extinguisher, and a working telephone. No bodies of water were observed during the inspection, and per the facility representative, no firearms are stored on site. The center is clean, well-maintained, and free of hazards, with appropriate temperature and ventilation. All furniture is in good condition, and infant changing tables are placed within reach of a sink. The program provides snacks and requires parents to bring lunch, although meals are also offered through Choice Lunch. LPA observed that each child’s food and bottles were properly labeled, and water pitchers are used during outdoor time. The classroom includes required postings, and the facility is designated as a nut-free zone. Each child has a separate blanket and sheet; per staff member, bedding is washed weekly, and the facility offers laundry service as needed. The last emergency drill was conducted on 07/09/2025 at 10:45 a.m. and was properly logged. The outdoor play area is fenced and supervised, separate from the preschool play area, and equipped with age-appropriate play structures in good condition. The facility requires parents to manually sign children in and out and adheres to the 15-minute sleep check protocol. The center roster was reviewed, and a copy was obtained. Children's files include Needs and Services plans, and staff records confirm that all personnel have criminal record clearance, current Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification, and Mandated Reporter training on file. LPA reviewed food storage and reminded the director that all food must remain in its original packaging or be clearly labeled with an expiration date.
