On 08/15/2023, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Nancy Her and Claribel Soto conducted an unannounced case management inspection and met with Center Director, Ernestina Flores. LPAs reviewed the reason of the inspection and a tour of the center was conducted both inside and outside. This is a decrease of capacity application and applicant is requesting preschool children ages 2-6. This facility will operate from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday. This program will operate in four classrooms. Applicant is aware to contact the Fresno Community Care Licensing for a change in classrooms and/or change in capacity.

This facility has provided evidence of completed water testing for samples collected on 07/5/2022 with no action level exceedances noted.

The classrooms were observed to be clean and free of toxins. LPA observed that the furniture and equipment appeared to be safe and in good condition. The shelving units are anchored to prevent tipping onto children in care. There are enough tables, cubbies, chairs, mats and plenty of toys for children to play. LPA also reminded Center Director to not store anything on top of high bookcases that could potentially fall on children. There are working combination smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in classrooms, located on the ceiling.

LPA reviewed with Center Director, Ernestina Flores, that any future changes to the classrooms are required to ensure that furniture does not tip over on to children, the furniture are to be anchored or situated that tipping does not occur. Classroom changes of furniture shall be situated that 100% visual supervision is always provided to children in care. There is a restroom in room 9 with one toilet and one sink. There is a restroom with two toilets and two sinks that are available to the “busy bees”, “lions”, and center classroom.
