On 09/25/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nancy Her conducted unannounced Case Management inspection for a decrease in capacity. Upon arrival, LPA met with Facility Representative Rene Maston. Applicant is requesting to be licensed for 66 preschool children ages 2 years to 6 years in classrooms B4, B5, and C1. Applicant is aware to contact the Fresno Community Care Licensing for a change in classrooms and/or change in capacity.

The classrooms were observed to be clean and free of toxins. LPAs observed that the furniture and equipment appeared to be safe and in good condition. The shelving units are anchored to prevent tipping onto children in care. There are enough tables, cubbies, chairs, mats, and plenty of toys for children to play. There are working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in classrooms, located on the ceiling.

LPAs reviewed with Site Supervisor, that any future changes to the classrooms are required to ensure that furniture does not tip over on to children and the furniture is to be anchored or situated that tipping does not occur. Classroom changes of furniture shall be situated that 100% visual supervision is always provided to children in care.

Room measurements were previously taken 08/29/2024 on a licensee initiated case management inspection by LPA Nancy Her. The total inside preschool area measured to an approximate 2319 square feet which will accommodate the capacity of 66 preschool children at a time. There is adequate storage space available for children's belongings in the classroom. Site Supervisor understands that children's equipment needs to match the capacity she is licensed for. Toys and equipment appear to be age appropriate. The classrooms do not have exclusive use of the bathroom. They will be sharing the bathrooms on campus with the other classrooms. A Waiver was submitted and granted. There is a total of 8 toilets, 2 urinals, and 10 sinks/hand washing fixtures which will accommodate the capacity of 66 preschool children.

The outdoor measurements were not taken this date as there is no change to the outdoor area and this is a decrease in capacity request.
