25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) William Chancellor and Licensing Program Analyst (LPM) Pauline Beschorner conducted an unannounced annual inspection on June 12, 2025, at 11:01 AM. LPA met with Director Candice Lawrence, who provided a tour of the center. This is a combination childcare center, and the following licensed programs were also inspected on today’s date: preschool and Mildly-Ill. A tour of both the indoor and outdoor areas of the facility was conducted, and the following observations were noted.
The required postings, including the [state the postings that were posted] facility license, Emergency Disaster Plan (LIC610), Earthquake Preparedness Checklist (LIC9148), Parent’s Rights Poster (PUB393), Personal Rights (LIC613A), Child Car Seat Law, and menus, were observed to be up to date and appropriately displayed. The facility is operating within the capacity limits as stated on its license.
During the inspection, staff-to-child ratios were observed; with 1:3 or less. Classrooms contained age and size-appropriate furniture and equipment, free of hazards. Director Candice Lawrence confirmed that no weapons are present on the premises, and there are no accessible bodies of water. Director confirmed and is aware that any wading pools or similar items must be emptied immediately after use and stored upright. Drinking water is available both indoors and outdoors, through lead tested faucets in classrooms and kitchen areas. LPA verified that lead testing was completed on 02/25/23 per PIN 21-21.1-CCP directives, and the next testing is due within five years from the initial test date.
Medications are stored in an area that is inaccessible to children, with the specific location noted. Hazardous items, including disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and other dangerous substances, are stored out of children’s reach, while poisons and toxins are securely locked away. The floors were observed to be clean, safe, and well-maintained. Highchairs and tables have broad-based legs, and trays that lock into place for additional safety. Changing tables are within arm’s reach of a sink, have a minimum one-inch thick padding, and feature raised sides of at least three inches covered in washable vinyl or plastic. Proper handwashing procedures were observed before and after diapering and feeding.
