25 | On April 16, 2026, at 1:10 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an unannounced Annual Random Inspection and met with the facility representative, Blanca Neumann. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection, and the facility was toured both indoors and outdoors to conduct a health and safety inspection. There were 33 preschool-age children present during the inspection, along with eight (8) staff members. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM and serves children ages 2 to 6 years.
All individuals subject to criminal record review have obtained the required clearance or exemption and are properly associated with the facility. LPA conducted a census of the children, and the count matched the 33 electronic signatures recorded in the Hubbe App sign-in system.
At approximately 1:40 PM, LPA reviewed five (5) children’s files. Each file contained the required documentation, including Personal Rights, Parent’s Rights, Medical Consent forms, and Identification and Emergency Information. At approximately 2:20 PM, LPA reviewed six (6) staff files. All files contained the required Health Screening and Employee Rights forms. At least one staff member present during opening and closing hours holds a current CPR and First Aid certification. Fire and disaster drills are conducted at least once every six months, with the most recent fire drill completed on February 26, 2026.
LPA tested the center’s carbon monoxide detector and found it to be functioning properly. The facility is equipped with hardwired smoke detectors that notify the fire department when activated. According to the facility representative, the smoke detectors are fully functional and routinely serviced. The center also maintains a working telephone, first aid kits, emergency backpacks, and multiple fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguishers that meet State Fire Marshal standards.
At approximately 3:00 PM, LPA inspected the two (2) classrooms and observed appropriate teacher-to-child ratios. The classrooms are arranged to allow children to explore various learning areas, with adequate play and educational materials available. Floors were clean, and furniture was appropriately sized for preschool-aged children. Play equipment was age-appropriate and in good repair. Each child has designated storage space, and cubbies are labeled with individual names. The center’s designated isolation area for ill children is the director’s office, which is located away from other children in care. All required documents are posted in a publicly accessible area.
