Licensing Program Analyst Erwina Pascual-Golamco (LPA) met with Director Helga Mills, for an unannounced annual inspection of this preschool facility. LPA toured the facility, including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, and outdoor play area. Director was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license. Facility hours of operation are 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday.

Director 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.

Classrooms observed are in good repair and free of hazards with heating and ventilation for safety and comfort. The facility has equipment and age-appropriate materials for children. Chemicals were kept inaccessible to children. Playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are in good condition with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall. Uncontaminated drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. LPA observed a posted menu. The facility provides breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack.

Bathrooms were sanitary, sinks and toilets were in operating condition. There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises and the facility has at least one functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector. LPA observed all required licensing documentation was posted for parental review. LPA observed that parents are signing their children in and out of the center.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA are available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.

For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP. LPA referred Director to the Department website for lead: Lead Toxicity Prevention and Water Testing Information.

Director was informed of the https://mychildcareplan.org/; a consumer education website that helps families obtain childcare by connecting them to childcare providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.
