25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cortney Nelson, met with Education Manager, Lorena Gonzalez, for an unannounced Required- 1 Year Inspection. Child Care Center is located on the same property as Arthur Road Baptist Church. LPA was granted access to the facility by staff member, Eliana Madueno, and toured both indoors and outdoors during the inspection. Upon arrival, there were 2 toddlers and 3 staff (2 teachers/1 assistant) present, which is compliant with the facility license capacity and ratio requirements. LPA observed all required postings near the entrance to the facility. Hours of operation for the facility are Monday – Friday, 8:30AM-3:30PM.

LPA observed all waivers posted in the facility and conditions for all waivers were followed during todays visit. Toddler and infant components located at the facility are in separate rooms and do not co-mingle.
During todays inspection, LPA was notified by Lorena that the infant side of the facility (Room 1) was closed due to a COVID exposure. Toddler side (Room 2) was still open for care. LPA reminded Lorena of the reporting requirement timeline for COVID cases/exposures and temporary closures at child care facilities.
Lorena was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
