On November 8, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Paul Garcia conducted an unannounced licensee-initiated case management inspection. LPA met with Site Supervisor, Carla Mateus. A census was taken and LPA toured the facility inside and outside.

The purpose for the inspection was to inspect and determine if recently renovated toddler option classroom #6, which is currently licensed, meets standards to be used to care for up to 12 toddlers.

Classroom #6 measured 731 square feet and the temporary outdoor play yard measured 752 square feet. The square footage in classroom #6 exceeds the requirement for 12 toddlers however, based on the measurement of the temporary outdoor toddler play yard, capacity shall be only up to ten (10) toddlers until the permanent play yard which is currently under construction is complete. The facility only plans on providing care and supervision to 8 toddlers at this time due to the capacity limits of the temporary play yard but will increase the number of toddlers to 12 once the play yard under construction is approved by the department.

LPA inspected classroom #6 and observed age-appropriate equipment, furniture and toys for children who will be supervised from qualified staff. Classroom #6 meets and exceeds departmental standards and is fully equipped with carbon monoxide detector, fire alarm and a fire extinguisher. There are a sufficient number of toilets and sinks for the children.

The Site Supervisor has provided LPA with an updated facility sketch to ensure the accuracy of the areas being used for the license. Effective immediately classroom #6 may be used for the care and supervision of toddlers.

Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, no deficiency cited.
An exit interview conducted with Site Supervisor, Carla Mateus and a copy of this report was provided and discussed. A Notice of Site Visit Form (LIC 9213) was issued and must remain posted for 30 days.
