25 | On February 26, 2026, at 12:30 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an unannounced Annual Random Inspection and met with the director, Gloria Martinez. The LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection, and the facility was toured both indoors and outdoors to conduct a health and safety inspection. There were 58 school-age children present during the inspection, supervised by five staff members. The center is located on the campus of Almond Elementary School and operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 pm. for before-school care and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for after-school care.
All individuals subject to criminal record review have a clearance or exemption and are properly associated with the facility. The LPA conducted a census of children in care, and the count matched the 58 signatures recorded on the electronic sign-in system.
At approximately 1:00 p.m., the LPA reviewed three (3) staff files. All files contained the required Health Screening and Employee Rights forms. At least one opening and/or closing staff member holds a current CPR and First Aid certificate. At approximately 1:30 p.m., the LPA reviewed four (4) children’s files. All files contained the required Personal Rights, Parent’s Rights, Medical Consent, and Identification and Emergency Information forms.
The LPA tested the facility’s dual smoke and carbon monoxide detector, which was found to be functioning properly. The center has a working telephone, first aid kits, an emergency backpack, and multiple fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguishers that meet standards established by the State Fire Marshal. Disaster drills are conducted at least once every six months, with the most recent drill conducted on February 2, 2026.
The large classroom is arranged to allow children to explore a variety of learning areas. Adequate play and learning materials are available. Floors were clean, and furniture was appropriately sized for school-age children. Play equipment was age-appropriate and in good repair. Each child has individual storage space. The facility’s isolation area for ill children is located next to the director’s desk and is separated from other children in care. All required documents were posted in a publicly accessible area.
