On 10/24/19 at 9:45am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loretta Dyson arrived at the center for an unannounced random inspection. The center has submitted an application for an increase of capacity, and the addition of a toddler option. LPA met with Haseena Dawud, director/owner. There were 23 infants and 7 additional staff members also present. The center operates Monday thru Friday 7am-6pm. There has been an addition to the center, with a new classroom, children's bathroom, and playground. LPA toured all areas of the center to conduct a health and safety inspection. The measurements are as follows:
INDOORS: 1,777.95 square feet = 51 children
OUTDOORS: 3,215 square feet = 43 children
A fire clearance, dated 9/4/19, for a total capacity of 55 children was received from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection Department.

The center has sufficient heating, ventilation and lighting for the safety and comfort of children and staff. The floors, surfaces, toys, furniture and equipment are age appropriate, in good condition and appear to be free of toxic substances. LPA did not observe any bodies of water, hazardous items or toxins accessible today. Parents provide all of the food for children, but the center has snacks available in case of an emergency and water. LPA observed that all bottles, dishes, and food items are properly labeled, and the director confirmed that bottles are prepared at home and brought to the center. LPA observed that the cribs are arranged to provide a walkway and work space for staff to reach infants. LPA observed a sufficient number of mats, which are stored appropriately, for children who are able to climb out of a crib. LPA observed all of the required documents posted and visible. The center is in compliance with the sign in and out procedure. The playground areas are fully fenced, free from defects or hazards, and the play structure is anchored with sufficient cushioning underneath to absorb a fall. There is sufficient shade in the playground areas. The center is equipped with a centralized smoke/fire detection system, a working carbon monoxide detector, first aid supplies, a working telephone and fully charged fire extinguishers. The center conducts fire and earthquake drills at least once every 6 months, and the last drills were completed in May 2019 and are documented.

LPA reviewed the files of 2 staff members and verified that they have completed the required mandated reporter training. The director stated that all staff have completed the training. LPA reminded the director that the training needs to be renewed every two years at www.mandatedreporterca.com. LPA verified that at least one opening and closing staff member has current CPR/first aid certificates. LPA reviewed the files of 3 children in care and verified that they have a Needs and Services plan that has been updated quarterly. LPA obtained a copy of the current facility roster.

This facility plans to provide Incidental Medical Services (IMS) and has submitted a plan of operation to Licensing. The director stated that there are currently no children enrolled that require medication while in care.

LPA reviewed safe sleep practices and provided a copy of A Safe Sleep in Child Care brochure. LPA reviewed the individuals associated to the license, and the director confirmed that everyone who is subject to a criminal record clearance is listed. LPA reminded the director that anyone employed at the center needs to be fingerprint cleared and associated to the facility, prior to being in the presence of children in care or an immediate civil penalty can be assessed. LPA reviewed the reporting requirements and procedures.

The director was informed that the toddler option program will be added to the infant license, effective today. The total capacity of the license will be 51 children, per the above measurements, and limited to 7 crib age children. LPA reminded the director to ensure that children enrolled in the infant program are separated from children enrolled in the toddler program, and separate spaces should be used for both age groups. The director was informed that parents need to give consent to have children enrolled in the toddler program, and proof of this needs to be in the child's file. LPA reminded the director to abide by the waiver for the infant playground.

There are no deficiencies being cited. This report will remain on file for 3 years. A notice of site visit was provided and needs to remain posted for 30 days. An exit interview was conducted with the director and appeal rights were provided.
