On March 5, 2025 at 8:30 am Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Priscilla Ochoa conducted an unannounced random annual inspection. LPA was greeted by Office Administrator, S1, who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. The Director, Deborah Mandel, joined the inspection shortly after. This is a Preschool program that operates Monday – Thursday from 8:15 am – 3:45 pm and Friday from 8:15 am – 1:00 pm. The facility is located on an Elementary/Middle School campus that utilizes 4 classrooms on the first floor, a separated eating area and playground. Per Director, there are 79 children enrolled in the program. LPA observed 72 children in care along with 16 staff members.

Upon entrance to the facility, LPA was greeted by an armed guard, whose primary station is the guard shake on the elementary side of the property. Per Director the armed guard does not interact with the day care children at all. The facility is in the process of applying for an armed guard waiver with the department. The Director must submit all requested documents for the waiver no later than March 14, 2025 to the department.

At 9:00 am, Office Administrator, S1 guided LPA on a tour of facility. Parents enter through side gate of the center and drop off their child to their designated classroom.

LPA observed a behavioral aide (BA) in room 103 assisting a child in care. Per Director the behavioral aid is hired through an agency called Hidden Treasures. The BA assists the child everyday from when the child is dropped off and picked up. Teacher-child ratios were observed to be in accordance with Title 22 Regulations. Staff names were recorded. All children were observed to be under supervision, including visual supervision. Napping equipment was observed in the form of cots. Bedding was inspected for good condition, appropriate storage, and cleanliness.
