On July 12, 2023, at 8:45 am, an unannounced annual/random inspection on the Infant Program is made today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Eduardo Barragan and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Amanda Blesi. LPA and LPM met with Mary Patten, Director. There were 8 infants present with 2 staff.

A tour of the infant classrooms were conducted. The following areas are in compliance during inspection: There are no bodies of water. Firearms and ammunition are not on the premises. Storage area for poisons is locked. Disinfectants, hazardous items and medications are inaccessible to children. Fire drills are conducted according to Title - 22 Regulations. The infant indoor and outdoor activity space is physically separate from the space used by other day care children. Infant cribs, cots/mats, and feeding chairs are sufficient, age appropriate and in good repair. However, there one bassinet (Taco sleeper) in the infant room which had been recalled by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and should not be used or in the facility’s premises. Infant changing tables have padded surface no less than one inch thick, covered with washable vinyl or plastic, and have raised sides at least three inches high. However, one deficiency is being administered due to both of the infant changing tables not being within arm's reach of a sink. LPA reminded the staff and the director, to ensure that the changing table is being cleaning above and below the padded matts. Toys appear to be safe, without sharp points, edges, splinters or small parts that can be pulled off and swallowed.

Facility is in compliance with staff infant ratios. All infants including those napping in cribs are under visual observation at all times. Feeding plans reviewed for some infants, Needs and Services plans reviewed for some infants. Sign in/Sign out sheets have full legal signature and record of time of day. Staff utilized as infant teachers have three child development units in infant/toddler care. No excluded individuals are present.
