At approximately 9:55am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Gallo met with facility representative Angela Bourque (formerly Bruno) for the purpose of an unannounced annual random inspection. Census included 21 preschool children supervised by 3 staff.

Facility hours of operation are 8:30am to 12:30pm. Facility is closed during summer months.

LPA toured the building including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service and outdoor play areas. All necessary postings were observed. Director stated there were no poisons or firearms on the premises, and LPA did not observe any bodies of water. All toxic and hazardous items were inaccessible to children. Functional carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector were present. Furniture and equipment were in good condition and floors were clean throughout the facility. Program provides snacks, and menus were posted in visible sight. The food preparation space was free of litter and all food was protected against contamination. Storage containers with solid waste had tight-fitting covers. Drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors.

Outdoor play yard structures and equipment were in good condition, and areas underneath or around climbing equipment were sufficiently cushioned with sand. However, LPA observed two loose screws camouflaged in the sand in the front right corner of the play yard.

Staff and children's records were reviewed and observed to be complete. Review of staff records confirmed at least one staff member present today has current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification, and that all staff currently employed with the facility have valid AB1207 Manded Reporter Training certificates. Criminal record clearances were also verified, and facility representative was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
