On 10/01/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted a Case Management - Licensee Initiated inspection. LPA met with Staff #1 and toured the facility, both inside and outside, focusing on the newly installed rubber mulch in the playground. The playground's size was unchanged, and the Department was notified of its readiness on 09/30/2024.

The outdoor area, designated for children aged 4-5, includes a sandbox, fenced playground structure, water fountain that is inoperable, two children’s picnic tables, three chairs, and shaded areas from nearby palm trees. LPA observed that the playground equipment, including the slides, had adequate rubber mulch for cushioning to absorb falls.

LPA recommended regular raking of the mulch into fall zones and frequent safety inspections of the play structure for loose parts or hazards. Staff #1 acknowledged the responsibility for child safety and supervision while using the playground, ensuring all equipment is maintained and utilized per manufacturer guidelines.

The outdoor play area was approved for use as of 10/01/2024. No deficiencies were cited per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, of the California Code of Regulations. Staff #1 was provided with a copy of Appeal Rights, and a notice of site visit must remain posted for 30 days.
