On 5/16/22 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jeanette Estrada and Monique Ayala conducted a Case Management inspection for the purpose of a capacity decrease. LPAs met with Director Bridgette Robinson and her Spouse, Jose Hernandez who guided LPAs on a tour of the facility. The program is requesting a decrease in capacity from 45 children to 22 children and will only utilize classroom 16. Currently the school age program utilizes classrooms 16 and 17. There were 15 children present and two staff in classroom 16 during the inspection. Operating hours are Monday to Friday 7 AM to 5:30 PM.
An update to the LIC 999 facility sketch was requested during the inspection. LPAs inspected classroom 17 and the outdoor area. There is an operable smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector in the classroom. There is drinking water available via a water dispenser. Children bring their own water bottles and staff assist in re-filling as needed. Water bottles are taken outside during outdoor play time. There is a 2A10BC fire extinguisher in the classroom that indicated full and was purchased on 5/15/22. There is a sink in the classroom available for hand washing. Cleaning products, disinfecting products and other hazardous items were inaccessible to children. LPA Ayala observed a sewing machine in a lower cabinet which the Director removed immediately. There is individual storage space available for children's belongings. Toys and materials were observed to be clean and safe. Furniture and equipment were inspected for age appropriateness and good repair.
There is a refrigerator in the classroom which per the Director is used to store children's lunches. The facility provides two snacks. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is provided by parents/ authorized representatives. There is a kitchen/food preparation area located in the adjacent licensed (infant) toddler center where staff prepare AM and PM snacks. The kitchen is made inaccessible by child safety gates. LPAs did not observe the menu posted in the classroom. The outdoor area is located directly in front of the classroom. There is a shaded bench area, a fenced jungle gym area, a garden and a grassy area in the outdoor space. The Director plans to use the outdoor space for the school age program and the pending preschool program. A schedule has been submitted for use of the outdoor space in order for the two programs to utilize the same area.

LPAs did not observe napping equipment in classroom 16 or 17. Per Director children in the school age program do not currently nap. Per the Director, the main office located next to the toddler classroom of the licensed infant program is used as the isolation area for ill children and the staff restroom located in the licensed infant classroom is used as the designated isolation restroom. Per Director, medication is stored in the main office and there are currently no children in this program that require medication.

LPAs measured classroom 17 and the outdoor area. At this time, capacity cannot be determined due to issues that would conflict with the pending preschool program (facility number 198400525). Currently the school age program uses two restrooms located on the premises. Due to the pending preschool program application, the Director has proposed a plan to use one restroom for the school age program and one restroom for the pending preschool program. Per the Director, the restroom which contains one toilet, five urinals and three sinks will be used by the school age program. Per Title 22 regulation 101239 (h)(1)(A), the school age program would be required to have two toilets per urinal in order to meet requirements. The proposed plan would not allow the school age program to meet requirements.

During conversation with the Director, the inspection was abruptly ended at the request of the Director. LPAs contacted LPM Karen Chambers who instructed LPAs to leave the facility and finish the report at another location. LPAs left the facility at 2:00 PM and finished report at another location. LPAs were not able to review the report with the Director nor was a signature obtained. Per the Director, no other facility representative would be authorized to sign the report.

LPA will return at a later date to address issues observed during this inspection.
