Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cortney Nelson, met with Site Supervisor, Antonette Recinos, for an unannounced Required- 1 Year Inspection. LPA was granted access to the facility by Antonette and toured both indoors and outdoors during the inspection. Upon arrival, there were 48 preschool-age children (16 children in each room 1,2,3) and 10 staff members present, which is compliant with the facility license capacity and ratio requirements. LPA observed all required postings near the entrance to the facility and the hours of operation are Monday – Friday, 8:15AM-4:45PM for Rooms #1 & #2 and 8:30AM-11:30AM/ 12:15PM-3:15PM for Room #3 (state preschool program).

LPA reviewed sign-in/out sheets, facility roster (LIC9040), and fire/disaster drill log during today’s inspection. Sign-in/out was observed to be completed with full legal signature and time of day for all rooms. The last fire/disaster drill was conducted on 12/22/2022, which is compliant with the six-month requirement for facilities. LPA observed a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher (2 in Room #1, 1 in Room #2, 3 in Room #3, and 1 in the Kitchen), functioning smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Antonette states that she currently has children in care who require Incidental Medical Services and administers medication at this time. LPA observed that all medication is properly stored out of reach of children with the proper documentation. There are no weapons or firearms on the premises.

Indoor areas of the facility were inspected by the LPA today and observed to be clean, orderly, and safe for the day care children. During today's inspection, LPA observed children napping in Rooms #1 & #2 and children engaged in circle time in Room #3. There are sufficient age-appropriate materials, toys, and play equipment in the facility. Drinking water is readily available for children in the facility via water dispensers and disposable cups. Staff and children’s bathrooms are clean, sanitary, and operable. One toilet was in disrepair in Room #2 and Antonette states that a work order will be submitted. There is a separate staff bathroom, not utilized by the children, which an isolated child can use if necessary. There is a working telephone in the facility.

The outdoor area of the facility was inspected and observed to be fenced in. There is a sandbox, bikes, playground structure, and swings outside for children to play with. There are functioning sinks and a drinking fountain located outside for hand washing and drinking water. The large slide on the playground is currently inaccessible to children as it needs repair due to a crack on it. LPA observed that the slide is barricaded off and children are unable to use it. Antonette states a repair order has been submitted. All play equipment is in good condition, age-appropriate, and has sufficient resilient materials (tanbark) to absorb falls. No outdoor bodies of water were observed during today’s inspection. Shaded rest area is provided by building overhang and large trees around the play structures.

Food is provided through the Pajaro Valley Unified School District Food Program and is stored, prepared, and served in a safe and healthful manner to the children. The facility offers a full day program in Rooms #1 & #2 and half day programs in Room #3. Breakfast, lunch, and supper (PM snack) are provided to children in Rooms #1 & #2 and breakfast/lunch is served to children in Room #3. A menu is in writing and posted at least one week in advance, accessible to authorized representatives. The kitchen and storage area is clean and free of litter and rubbish.
