25 | On 3/16/22, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Loretta Dyson arrived at the center for an unannounced case management inspection. LPM met with Boris Alvarado, the center director. There were 22 infants/toddlers and 6 additional staff also present. The facility currently has an infant license with a total capacity of 42, including 18 infants and 24 toddlers with the toddler option. The facility submitted an application to reduce the capacity for the infant license to 18 and remove the toddler option. This will be a combination center, also licensed for a preschool component with a capacity of 24. The infant component will operate in two classrooms, Infant 1 and Infant 2, Monday - Friday 7:45am - 5:30pm, but is currently operating Monday - Friday 8am-5pm.
LPM toured the areas used for the infant component, to conduct a health and safety inspection. There are an ample supply of age appropriate toys, furniture and equipment available for children. LPM did not observe any hazardous items, defects, or dangerous conditions during the inspection today. The director confirmed that there have been no changes to the facility that would cause a change in the square footage.
The director was reminded to review information related to applicable regulations on Licensing’s website at www.ccld.ca.gov, including the Safe Sleep regulations. LPM reminded the director to adhere to all requirements within the regulations at all times including supervision, personal rights, unusual incident and injury reporting, ratio, staff qualifications, and criminal record clearance and association requirements. The director was encouraged to email ChildCareAdvocatesprogram@dss.ca.gov to be included in the Child Care Quarterly Updates distribution list. LPM reminded the director that the mandated reporter training is required for all staff and is to be renewed every 2 years at www.mandatedreporterca.com.
This facility will be licensed for 18 infants, effective today 3/16/22. This report will remain on file for 3 years. An exit interview was conducted with the director, and a copy of the report and appeal rights were provided. |
