On November 19, 2024 at 9:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Susana Martinez conducted an unannounced Required-3 Year inspection. LPA met with director Stefanie Lawson and advised her the purpose of the inspection. Director provided LPA a tour of the facility inside and outside. There were 20 children in care at the time of the inspection along with 3 staff. The facility is located on the Las Posas Elementary School Campus. Center operates M-F 8:15 AM- 11:15 AM.

LPA observed required licensing documents mounted on the wall at the entrance of the facility. Currently the facility uses an electronic sign-in/sign-out application called Learning Genie. LPA verified that the number of children signed in for today correlate with the number of children present on site. Last disaster drill was observed to be conducted on 11/18/2024. Center provides snacks which are prepared by the School District. Snack menus are provided to parents through Learning Genie.

The center currently uses one room for care, labeled K3. Classroom is equipped with age-appropriate toys, teaching materials, and furnishings for children in care. LPA observed enough restrooms available for children to use. Bathrooms are clean and sanitary. LPA did not observe any hazardous/toxic items accessible to children. First Aid kits were observed to be readily accessible in the room. Carbon monoxide detector was observed inside the classroom which was just tested last week and found to be in working condition.

Children bring water bottles from home which are labeled. Drinking water is readily available for children inside and outside the classrooms. The outdoor playground is fenced and equipped with appropriate shading and has an ample amount of space for children to play. Director states outdoor play yard is shared with elementary school children, but used at different times to prevent commingling. LPA advised Director to submit a waiver request. LPA reminded Director that waste containers need to have tight-fitting covers. LPA observed the playground has age-appropriate toys and structures available for children to use. The areas around or under high climbing equipment have cushioned material. No bodies of water were observed on the premises.
