On 03/13/2025 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Anita Tristan and Sonja Navarrette arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced Case Management Inspection. LPA met with Director, Blair Vedenoff. LPA toured the facility inside and out and a census was taken. The purpose of today's inspection was regarding an unusual incident that was reported to the Fresno Childcare Regional Office on 03/07/2025.

On 03/06/2025 at 9:45am Child #1 (C1) spilled water out of cup bending over to wipe the water with hand. C1 tipped over, falling, and hit C1’s mouth on the edge of wooden table. At the time of the incident there were 16 children in care with 3 staff. Staff # 1 & 2 assisted C1, by administering first aid and director called parent.
