This is an infant program that operates Monday to Friday 6:45am to 6pm. There is a preschool component, facility number 198008722 that operates 6:45am to 6pm. Per director, there are 13 infants enrolled. LPAs observed an arm security guard inside the facility near the lobby area.

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. Licensed facility is within the conditions, limitations, and capacity specified on the license.

The classroom furniture and equipment was inspected for good repair, free of sharp, loose, or pointed parts. All indoor classrooms were inspected to ensure that the floors have a surface that is safe and clean. All toilets and washing facilities are in safe and sanitary operating conditions. All materials and surfaces accessible to children are toxic free. LPAs observed changing tables that meet Title 22 Regulations. LPAs did not observe a tight fitted trash for diapers in the toddler classroom. LPA's observed cleaning solutions located on the bottom cabinets to be unlocked and accessible to children in care.
