25 | On 8/29/23, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Arianna Manabat and Kyrsten Williams met with Director Sithumini Millawabandara for an unannounced annual inspection. At 11:15am LPA toured the facility including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service and outdoor play areas. Today’s census included 8 infant children being supervised by 2 staff members. The Director was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license. Facility hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM.
The Director 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.
LPAs observed that all classrooms appeared clean including the carpets and floor. Furniture and equipment are in good condition, and toileting facilities are in safe, sanitary, and operating condition. LPAs observed a functional carbon monoxide detector. Chemicals and cleaning materials were kept inaccessible to children. The food preparation space is free of litter and all food was protected against contamination. Trash cans have tight fitting lids. Medications are stored in an area inaccessible to children. The Director stated there are no poisons, bodies of water, or weapons on the premises.
Playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are in good condition with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall. Shade was provided to children via awnings and the sides of the building. Drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors in water bottles and pitchers.
