On 10/20/23, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Anna Chan conducted an unannounced inspection for the purpose of an Annual Random visit. LPA met with director, Michelle Oh. LPA and Director made a tour of the facility inside and outside. The floor and yard plan (LIC 999) were verified. LPA took census, there were a total of 68 preschool children present which includes 20 toddlers who belong to Toddler Option Program with 5 staff in the Toddler Room and 6 staff for preschool. The Toddler Option Program is physically separated from other program. The Toddler Option Program has its own restroom inside the classroom. The Toddler Option Program has also a separate outdoor space for the outdoor activity time. LPA reminded the director that there is no commingling between Toddler Option and other programs permitted. Children in all classes are having pumpkin painting indoors.

During the inspection it was determined the facility is operating within its licensed capacity and within compliance of staffing ratios. Facility hours are 7:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on this date indicates all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.

During the inspection of the indoor activity space, items which could pose a danger to children (cleaning compounds, and medications) were observed to be stored out of the reach of children. Poisons/Hazardous Items are not kept on the premises. Children bring morning and afternoon snacks and may bring lunch, or a hot lunch is provided to children by the facility. Menus were posted where the parents could see it. Menus are also provided to parents through monthly newsletters. Hot lunch is delivered from the facility’s Fullerton location.

Floors, equipment, and furniture were clean and were observed to be in good repair and free of sharp edges. There is drinking water available to children indoors by purified water gallon bottles and children bring sports bottles properly labeled with names on it.
