25 | On 03/01/2024 at 12:30 PM an unannounced Required – 3 Year Inspection was conducted by Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Katrina Chicote and Anthony Padilla. Licensing staff announced purpose of visit and met with Facility Representative (FR), Patricia Brizuela, Center Manager, who granted entry to facility and provided guided tour of facility both indoors and outdoors. The program currently operates an Infant Program with a Toddler Option Monday thru Friday 7:45 AM to 3:15 PM. LPAs observed there are separate entrances for each program and each program maintains it's own space. LPAs discussed required licensing postings with Facility Representative.
At the initial start of the site visit, there is a total census of 18 infants and a total census of six staff present. The facility is made up of ten classrooms but, due to low enrollment, currently only using four classrooms: RM-1 (Infants between 18-24 months), RM-2 (Toddlers: 24-36 months), RM-7 (Infants), and RM-8 (Infants). LPAs observed RM-1 to have eight infants with two teachers, RM-2 to have five toddlers with two teachers, RM-7 to have five infants with two teachers, and RM-8 to be empty. Per FR, RM-7 and RM-8 combined on this date due to low attendance.
Beginning at 12:30 PM, furniture and equipment were inspected for age appropriateness, good repair, and free of loose and sharp pointed parts in each classroom. Telephone service, heating, lighting and ventilation were evaluated. LPAs observed surface of classrooms to be safe and clean, and age appropriate tables and chairs available for infants well maintained. LPAs observed a variety of age appropriate material and equipment, including washable toys available for infants in each classroom. LPAs observed toys available for infants encouraging auditory, visual, and tactile stimulation as well as manipulative skills. LPAs observed library area available for quiet play in each classroom. There were cubbies observed as storage for infants' belongings. LPAs observed low feeding chairs available for infant/toddler feeding. LPAs arrived during infants/toddlers nap time and observed all infants and toddlers sleeping on cots that do not hinder walkways
