An Annual/Random inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Amy Strother. LPA met with facility representative, Director, Wendy Velazquez (D1) for the tour of the facility and Licensee, Irene Silva (L1) for the file review and interview. Licensee 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.

This center is a preschool with a toddler component. Children of different age groups have separate activity areas. The facility’s operating hours are 8:00am - 5:00pm, Monday – Friday. The facility was toured inside and outside, and the floor and yard plan submitted by the licensee were verified. The facility is currently using room #2 and #6 for Toddlers, #3 for Preschool, and #4 for Pre-K students. Sign in/out records were reviewed. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds and medications) were observed to be inaccessible to children located on high shelves out of reach of children. L1 stated there are no poisons in the facility, and none were observed during this inspection. LPA observed the toys, floors, desks and other equipment and surfaces are clean, toxic free, safe, and in good condition. There is drinking water available to children both indoors and outdoors by use of individual water bottles that are refilled as needed from the classroom sinks. The children's bathrooms are in safe and sanitary condition. The center’s isolation area for any child who becomes ill while in care is located in the front office. Families provide snacks and lunch for their children by way of a packed lunch box from home. LPA observed a working combo carbon monoxide and smoke detector in the facility. LPA observed a fire extinguisher that appeared charged in the facility. LPA observed the playground equipment and surface areas were in safe condition.
