LPAs met with Kelly Linder and Jim Linder. There were 14 infants and 6 additional staff members also present. The infant program is a component of a combination center that also has a preschool component, and operates Monday thru Friday 7am-5:30pm. The infant component currently uses classroom 2 and playground 2. Licensing received an application for an increase of capacity and the addition of classroom 1 and playground 1. LPAs toured the classrooms and playgrounds to conduct a health and safety inspection. The measurements are as follows: INDOOR: 1380.68 square feet = 39 children OUTDOOR: 5454.14 square feet = 73 children A fire clearance for a total capacity of 36 infants was approved by the Santa Clara County Fire Department on 9/9/19. The lighting, heating and ventilation in both classrooms are sufficient for the safety and comfort of children and staff. The floors and surfaces appear to be safe, clean and in good repair. There is an ample supply of age appropriate toys, activities, and furniture, which appear to be in good condition. The playgrounds are fenced and free from defects or dangerous conditions. The play structure has sufficient cushioning underneath to absorb a fall, and is secure. There is sufficient napping equipment, and the napping area in classroom 1 is sufficient to hold 12 cribs. LPAs did not observe any bodies of water or hazardous items accessible to children. The classrooms have functioning carbon monoxide detectors, a centralized fire/smoke detection system, fire extinguishers, working telephones and first aid kits. The changing tables in each classroom are within arms reach of a sink. continued on 809C
