25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) William Chancellor conducted an unannounced annual inspection on December 23, 2025, at 8:05 AM. LPA met with Director Tonia Goldbach, who provided a tour of the center. This is a combination childcare center, where the preschool program was additionally audited on today’s date. 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 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 a minimum of 1:4. Classrooms contained age and size-appropriate furniture and equipment, free of hazards. Director Tonia Goldbach 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 filtered water and refillable water bottles.
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. 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 hand washing procedures were observed before and after diapering and feeding.
The director was informed about the MyChildCarePlan.org website, a consumer education resource that HELPS families obtain child care by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.
