On 8/25/21 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessika Thompson conducted an unannounced Annual Required Inspection for the preschool license. LPA met with Early Childhood Education Lead Margaret Mclain and toured the facility indoors and outdoors. This preschool follows the school year calendar of Visalia Unified School District with the hours of operation for two classes: 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

Criminal record clearance records are completed as condition for employment and maintained by Visalia Unified School District. There is no swimming pool or other bodies of water on the premises. There are no firearms or ammunition allowed or stored on the premises. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions and other hazardous items are made inaccessible. No poisons were observed during the inspection.

LPA observed that the outdoor play structure is currently fenced off as it is not in use due to a pending remodel. Children currently play in the adjacent grass area that is free of hazards; however, in area accessible to children on the southern end of playground, LPA observed an industrial sized sealed container of liquid, four pallets of flooring material and two large rolls of smart turf. All toilets and hand-washing facilities are in safe and sanitary operating condition. Floors in the facility are clean and safe. Solid waste storage containers have tight-fitting covers and are in good repair. Drinking water is available both indoors and outdoors. All materials and surfaces accessible to children are toxic free. The facility is free of flies, insects and rodents. Facility has one or more functioning carbon monoxide detectors that meet statutory requirements. Capacity and limitations as specified on the license are being maintained. At least one person trained in CPR and Pediatric First Aid is present when children are at the facility or at off-site activities. Children's files were reviewed and in compliance. LPA reviewed a sample of staff files and observed files were complete with documentation of meeting qualification requirements.
