25 | On April 23, 2026, at 1:45 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an unannounced Annual Random Inspection and met with Director Ananda Triulzi. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection, and the facility was toured both indoors and outdoors for a health and safety inspection. There was one (1) preschool-age child present during the inspection and no additional staff. The facility’s current hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The facility is located on a former elementary school campus owned by Palo Alto Community Child Care (PACCC), which leases former classrooms to daycare providers; multiple licensed childcare facilities operate on the premises.
All individuals subject to criminal record review have obtained the required clearance or exemption and are properly associated with the facility. LPA conducted a census of the children, and it matched the one signature recorded on the sign-in sheet. At approximately 2:00 PM, LPA reviewed one child’s file, which contained the required documentation, including Personal Rights, Parent’s Rights, Medical Consent forms, and Identification and Emergency Information.
At approximately 2:20 PM, LPA reviewed one (1) staff file. The file contained the required Health Screening, Employee Rights, and Statement Acknowledging the Requirement to Report Child Abuse forms. At least one opening and closing staff member has a current CPR and First Aid certification. LPA tested the facility’s smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and found them to be functioning properly. The facility also has a working telephone, first aid kits in each room, and multiple fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguishers mounted on the walls in each classroom, meeting the standards established by the State Fire Marshal. Disaster drills are conducted at least once every six months, with the most recent drill completed on April 1, 2026.
The two (2) classrooms were inspected around 2:45 PM, and teacher-to-child ratio was observed to be maintained. The classrooms are arranged to support children’s exploration across different learning areas. There are adequate play and learning materials available. The floors were clean, and the furniture was appropriately sized for preschool-age children. All play equipment is age-appropriate and in good repair. Each child has access to individual storage space for their belongings. The designated isolation area for ill children is the Director’s office, separate from other children in care. All required licensing documents are posted in a publicly accessible area.
