Licensing Program Analyst Erwina Pascual-Golamco (LPA) met with Facility Representative Maria Buza (FR), for an unannounced annual inspection of this preschool facility. LPA toured the facility, including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, and outdoor play area. FR was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license. The center is open Mondays through Fridays and follows the Folsom Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD) calendar. The preschool has a morning class from 8:00am to 11:00am and an afternoon class from 11:45am to 2:45pm. Children do not take naps. All staff present had evidence of current criminal background clearances and/or associations through the FCUSD.

FR 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.

Classrooms observed are clean, including the carpets and floors. Chemicals were kept inaccessible to children. Playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are in good condition with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall. Uncontaminated drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. The center provides breakfast and lunch through food services provided by FCUSD. LPA observed a posted menu.

There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises and the facility has at least one functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector. LPA observed all required licensing documentation was posted for parental review. LPA observed that parents are signing their children in and out of the center.
