On 06/17/2020, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Denise Do Amaral Miranda and Claudia Escobedo met with facility staff Merav Cohen, Claire Peikon and Shana Fishman. The purpose of the visit was an announced Pre-Licensing inspection at the facility to ensure that health, safety and personal rights as required by Title 22 Regulations governing California Child Care Centers will be met. No children were present during this inspection, as the facility has been closed since March 16, 2020 due to COVID-19 precautions. This is an application to increase capacity from 125 to 169 preschool children. The child care center currently operates Monday-Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

LPAs Denise and Claudia toured and measured on-limits areas and classrooms at the facility. The facility has a total of 9 classrooms. Children will have access to 13 sinks and 12 toilets. The indoor space of the facility measures 5,616 square feet. The outdoor space of the facility measures 10,086 square feet. Based on the indoor space, the facility has capacity limitations of 160 children. Based on the outdoor space, the facility has capacity limitations of 134 children. Currently the maximum capacity based on both indoor and outdoor space is 134 children.

Ms. Merav Cohen informed LPAs Denise and Claudia that the facility currently has an approved outdoor waiver and will submit another outdoor waiver, upon notification of capacity limitations for this increase of capacity application.

LPAs Denise and Claudia observed a fire extinguisher - 4-A:60-B:C in room 11 and 3-A:40-B:C in room 8. Furniture and equipment in all classrooms are age-appropriate and in good repair. Heating, lighting and ventilation are adequate in all areas of the facility.
