25 | On 10/6/2023, a meeting was held at the Fresno Regional Office (FRO) at the request of the Licensee / Owner Tina Watson. Present at the meeting was Owner/Licensee Tina Watson, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ocegueda, LPA Claribel Soto and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Susie Fanning.
On 7/7/2023, a case management inspection was conducted at the facility to help determine what spaces licensee uses when school age children and toddler children are present along with preschool children. Although the center is a combination center, the facility is required to have separate areas for care to accommodate the separate age groups it is licensed for so that children of different age groups do not co-mingle. LPA reviewed the facility sketches available and it was not clear what spaces were deemed for use of school age children, preschool children and toddler aged children. During the time of the inspection, there were no school age children or toddlers under age 2 years old enrolled and licensee indicated that she does not typically enroll school age or toddler children at this time.
Licensee requested a meeting to discuss this topic further. During this meeting LPA Ocegueda and LPM Fanning offered consultation and technical assistance to licensee to ensure the facility is following regulations related to comingling should there be children of different ages present all together at the facility at any given time. Report continued to page 809-C.
