On Tuesday October 29th 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mandie Goodwin met with Facility Representative Shannon Jaraba for the purpose of an unannounced random inspection. Facility had classrooms operating in rooms K-A and K-B. LPA toured the facility at which time a census of 30 preschool children supervised by 4 staff members were observed.

A health and safety inspection was conducted in the classrooms, restrooms, food service area, and outdoor play area. LPA observed all postings. Cleaning disinfectants and hazardous items are appropriately stored and inaccessible to children. Furniture and equipment are in good condition, and toileting facilities are in sanitary and operating condition. There are bins for solid waste. The floors appeared clean throughout the facility. LPA observed functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a fire extinguisher. Nap equipment was stored appropriately with bedding separated. LPA observed a current roster, documentation of sign in and sign outs through a digital application, and documentation that facility is conducting emergency disaster drills at least every 6 months.

Children have access to water indoors and outdoors by bringing water bottles which are refilled. Playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are in good condition with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall. Outdoor shade is provided by canopies, trees, and sides of buildings. There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises.

LPA reviewed staff files. At least one staff member present today has current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification. LPA observed immunization records and documentation of the educational background, training, and/or experience. Upon review, all staff members had current mandated reporter trainings. LPA advised AB 1207 Mandated Reporter training must be renewed every two years and can be renewed at www.mandatedreporterca.com (Report continues 809-C)
