An Annual Random inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Amy Strother. LPA met with facility representative, Licensee, Julie Day (L1). Licensee 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.

The facility’s operating hours are 7:30am - 5:30pm, Monday – Friday. The facility was toured inside and outside, and the floor and yard plan submitted by the licensee were verified. Sign in/out records were reviewed and in compliance. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds and medications) were observed to be inaccessible to children. LPA observed poisons stored in a cupboard with a key locked door knob. LPA observed the toys, floors, desks and other equipment and surfaces are clean, toxic free, safe, and in good condition. There is drinking water available to children indoors using individually labelled reusable water cups and outdoors by use of individually labelled water bottles brought from home. The children's bathrooms are in safe and sanitary condition. The center’s isolation area for any child who becomes ill while in care is located in a quiet area away from the group, that can be supervised by staff. LPA observed food prep areas are clean. Food is properly stored and refrigerated as needed. There was no contaminated food observed. Garbage cans containing solid waste have tight fitting lids. Menus are posted in the kitchen. LPA observed a working carbon monoxide and smoke detector in the facility. LPA observed a fire extinguisher that appeared charged in the facility. LPA observed the playground equipment and surface areas were in safe condition.

There is pea gravel underneath climbing structure to absorb falls. There were no bodies of water observed on the site. D1 stated no weapons are stored on site, and none were observed.
