On July 24, 2024 at 1:15 PM., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an unannounced Annual Random Inspection and met with the facility representative Elizabeth Lopez. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entry into the facility by the facility representative. There were no children present during this inspection and one additional staff member. This program is part of a combination center, which also includes an infant and a school age program and operates on the site of a church. The facility was toured inside and out for a health and safety inspection. The hours of operation are 7:30 AM-5:30 PM, Monday -Friday

LPA checked the facility RECORDS and they show all individuals subject to criminal record review have a clearance or exemption and have been associated to the facility. LPA conducted a census of the children and the census matches the children signed in on the electronic system (Bright Wheel). LPA did not review any files today because no children are currently enrolled at the center but did review one staff file around 1:45 PM. The staff file has the required health screening, and Employee Rights forms. LPA did not review the facility roster because no children are currently enrolled. At least one opening/ closing staff member has a current CPR & First Aid Certificate. Mandated Reporter Training was discussed, and certificates were reviewed.

The one large classroom was inspected around 1:25 PM and teacher-child ratio was observed. There are adequate play and learning materials available. The floors, furniture, and equipment are age appropriate and in good repair. There is adequate heating/air conditioning, ventilation and lighting. Drinking water is available inside and outside of the center. There is proper individual storage space for each child. The isolation area for sick children is the director's office, away from other children in care.

LPA tested the smoke & carbon monoxide detectors in the preschool classroom and found them to be functioning properly. The center has a working telephone, pull down fire alarm system, and multiple fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguishers throughout the preschool center, which meets standards established by the State Fire Marshal. No disaster drills have been conducted due to enrollment and LPA reminded the facility representative that disaster drills must be conducted at least once every six months. All required documents are posted in a public accessible area.
