Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Melanie Otsuji made an announced PRELICENSING visit in response to an application for a DROP-IN PRESCHOOL; the drop in status is determined by the lack of outdoor activity space and directs the center to allow children to attend no more than 5 hours a day with a maximum of 15 hours per week per child. LPA met with Applicant/Director, Angha Chitre. This facility resides in a shopping plaza. Facility operating hours will be Monday through Friday: 8:30AM - 6PM.

This program will be conducted in two classrooms, a common space and reading nook. There is 1 toilet and 1 sink available to children. There is a separate staff bathroom within the facility. Applicant stated that also on site is a heritage program. When Heritage children are present, the preschool will utilize the 2 classrooms (PreK/Preschool Classroom & Activity Center Classroom). Additionally, preschool capacity will drop to 8 maximum if Heritage children are present. Applicant understands that at no time should Heritage and Preschool aged children commingle. Isolation room for sick children will be located at the Director's desk. The classrooms are furnished with age-appropriate equipment, with adequate storage and cubbies for all. Drinking water is available to children by way of bottles from home and a refill station in the facility. Children will bring snacks from home. Facility will have back up snacks on site. All required forms are posted. Electronic sign in/out will be used which provides a unique identifier for each authorized representative. The director is Anagha Chitre, and a complete director packet was provided to CCLD. There is a working telephone on site.

Interior activity space: 1030.75 sq. ft., which will allow for 17 preschool children.

No outdoor space is available for play; to amend for that, the capacity for this Drop-In center is determined by the requirement of 60 square foot per child. A waiver has been requested by the Applicant.
There are no health or safety risks posed by this facility on today's date. The Livermore-Pleansanton Fire Department has approved the capacity of 15 on 5/23/2023..
