On 10/09/2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Priscilla Zamudio and Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced Annual/Random inspection for the preschool license. LPAs met with Director Barbara Channita and toured the facility. The facility operates Monday to Friday, 6:15 AM to 6:00 PM, year-round.

All hazardous materials, including poisons, disinfectants, and cleaning solutions, were securely stored out of children's reach. There is an in-ground swimming pool that is fenced per regulation to make it inaccessible. Swimming pool is not used for preschool children. There are no firearms or ammunition allowed or stored on the premises.

Furniture and equipment were in good condition, and play areas were safe. The outdoor area was well maintained, handwashing facilities were sanitary, and the carbon monoxide detector was functional. Solid waste containers had tight-fitting lids, and drinking water was available both indoors and outdoors. Meals and snacks are prepared onsite.

The facility operated within its licensed capacity, maintaining the required teacher-child ratios. A staff member with CPR and Pediatric First Aid training was always present. Children were under continuous visual supervision, and a designated director or qualified teacher was available in the director’s absence.

LPAs reviewed children's and staff files, finding them complete with all necessary information, including health screenings and mandatory training. LPAs discussed reporting requirements and background checks with the director and verified the facility's completion of lead testing per Assembly Bill 2370.
