On 12/5/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hanson Leong, made an unannounced required visit to the child daycare facility listed above. This facility also operates an infant program under license number 214005558. The LPA was granted entry by the Director, Tina Sarabandi. The LPA explained the purpose of the visit to Ms. Sarabandi. Present in the facility: 1 director, 1 teacher, 3 aides and 15 preschool aged children. All individuals listed on the facility’s roster have been granted permission to work or be present in a childcare facility. The facility is operating within its capacity and in accordance with the required ratio of staff to children.

The LPA and Ms. Sarabandi both performed comprehensive inspections of the facility to look for possible threats to health and safety. The LPA observed that the facility maintains an electronic record of when children sign in and out, and the number of parent signatures did match the number of children enrolled for the day. The facility offers a first aid kit that is completely loaded with everything that is required for the treatment of wounds and other types of injuries. Toys, furnishings, and learning materials in all classes are age appropriate. The LPA observed that the playground equipment and outdoor furnishings are in very good shape. The LPA found that the facility did not have any pools, spas, or other types of bodies of water of any kind. The LPA found poisons, cleaning products, and other potentially hazardous substances inside an unlocked cabinet. The LPA found the poisons, cleaning products, and other potentially hazardous substances in the unsecured cabinet while the children were outdoors in the play area. Ms. Sarabandi was witnessed by the LPA removing poisons, cleaning products, and other potentially hazardous substances to the kitchen where children do not have access. The building is equipped with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers that are properly charged, centralized smoke alarms, and phones that are in working order. According to Ms. Sarabandi, the facility does not house any firearms or other types of weapons.

The LPA observed a designated area for children to sleep or rest quietly. The area has sufficient cots for each child, and all mattresses and bedding are stored in the appropriate location. The LPA reminded Ms. Sarabandi that emergency exits must always remain clear, and that cots cannot be situated in a manner that blocks emergency exits.

According to Ms. Sarabandi, parents provide disposable diapers and wipes for their own children. There are 2 designated changing tables in the facility, which is clean and safe for the children to use. The LPA reminded Ms. Sarabandi that the diaper changing stations and sinks must be reserved solely for their intended purpose. The LPA reminded Ms. Sarabandi that the diaper changing tables and sinks may not be used for food preparation or as an area to hold classroom materials or classroom activities.



The LPA observed that the facility posted the required documents. (i.e., license, waivers, notification of parental rights, notification of personal rights, car seat law, emergency disaster plan, and daily activities)

The LPA reviewed both the children's and staff records. The LPA reviewed the 5 children's records and found that all 5 children have a record of their emergency information on file The LPA reviewed the records of the 4 different staff members and found that all 4 staff members possess a valid certification in Pediatric First Aid/CPR and Mandated Reporter. The LPA reminded Ms. Sarabandi that the Basic Pest Management Training must be completed annually. The LPA also found that the 2 staff members possess the required 12 Early Childhood Education (ECE) units, which are necessary qualifications for being a qualified teacher.
