On 6/11/2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Loraine Perez and Amanda Sutter met with Facility Representative Mary Patten for the purpose of an unannounced, required - 1 year inspection. Facility hours of operation are from 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday. 65 preschool children of which 11 are in the Toddler Option classroom, were present at the time of arrival. 14 staff were present within the preschool classrooms. Five classrooms were part of the preschool inspection.

During today’s visit 19 preschool children were present in the Armadillo classrooms with four staff. Upon review of staff records there was one fully qualified teacher with three aids supervising the group of 19 children, putting the classroom out of ratio.

When entering the Safari classroom, LPA Sutter observed a child come through the connecting bathroom into the Safari room from the Sea Turtle classroom. The Director called out to staff in the Sea Turtle classroom, and the staff responded by coming through the bathroom to return the child to the classroom. LPA Sutter also observed that before the child came through there was another child in the bathroom unsupervised.

All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained criminal record clearance. Facility Representative was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
