On 12/15/21 Licensing Program Analysts (LPA), Araceli Gibson conducted an unannounced case management inspection. LPA met with Director, DeCondia Ferguson via Face Time and with Laura Ayala, Administrative Assistant in person for a tour of the facility and a census was taken 1 child in the infant room and 5 preschool children in the Preschool. LPA stated the reason for the inspection was to address a closure on 10/06/21 due to a mouse sighting. The director sought out the advice of pest control, and the mouse was caught and disposed of the same day. LPA observed the infant room to be clean, swept and orderly. LPA observed no signs of mice dropping. Facility is using sticky traps in locked cabinets and a outdoor mouse house trap. Laura stated staff checks these traps daily. No other sightings have occurred since that day.

LPA continued the tour and observed the tent in the infant area down after a storm the day before. In addition, preschool outdoor play area had the misters on. Laura stated the misters were leaking and could not be shut down completely. LPA addressed the misters with the director as it is winter, in mid-December too cold for children to be wet outdoors. Director immediately had Lauren Skidmore, CEO deliver a work order to fix the mister system and repair the tent in the infant area.

The facility was providing adequate measures during the incident, notified authorized representatives, and properly documented the incident with Community Care Licensing.

Per California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3 no deficiency cited during today's visit. Exit interview conducted with the Director and Laura Ayala.
