Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cynthia Sun conducted a visit for the purpose of a Plan of Correction (POC). LPA was given a tour of the preschool classroom inside and outside by Early Learning Specialist, Laura Barnett. Census was taken as follows: 3 staff supervising 11 preschool children from room #506. All children were supervised while preparing for music and then transitioning for breakfast.

A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on this date indicates all facility residents, staff, or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.

On 01/31/2025 LPA conducted an unannounced case management inspection in response to a self-report Unusual Incident dated 1/22/2025. LPA observed play structure equipment where C1 fell, was labeled “this equipment has been designed for users between the ages of 5 to 12 years old”. The facility is licensed to care for 48 children ages 2 through 5 years old. Based on LPA’s observation, the play structure is not age appropriate for children in care at the facility. The children access to play structure poses an immediate health, safety, or personal rights risk to persons in care.
