Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Juvenal Moctezuma conducted an unannounced Annual/Random Inspection and met with Teacher, Kayla Mckay. The purpose of the inspection was discussed with Kayla and a tour of the center was conducted both inside and outside. LPA took census and observed that the children were napping in 2 separate classrooms. LPA observed the staff cleaning the classroom and bathrooms while the children were asleep. LPA explained to Kayla that the staff should have visual observation of the children even though they are asleep. LPA also explained that staff in charge of caring for the children should not be cleaning or doing other things. Kayla understood.

Center operates year round but also follows the Tulare Unified School District Schedule. The center operates from 07:00 AM to 05:30 PM Monday through Friday. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions and all hazardous items are stored up high in the children's bathroom and also in a locked laundry room outside of the children's classrooms. Kayla stated that the center provides Incidental Medical Services (IMS). An IMS plan will be submitted. The medication is stored up high in a box in the main office which is inaccessible to children in care. Furniture and equipment appear to be safe and in good condition. LPA reminded Kayla to get rid of any toys or equipment that are broken or malfunctioning. Floors appeared to be clean and safe, and solid waste storage vessels, including moveable bins, have tight fitting covers on, and are in good repair. The bathrooms were observed to be clean and are kept free of toxins and in sanitary operating condition. The center only provides snacks since children bring their own lunch from home. Drinking water is available both indoors and out. The menus are posted inside each classroom. Kayla stated that napping equipment is washed at least once a week or whenever its necessary.

A sampling of Staff records reviewed and was observed that Teacher #1 did not have copies of their transcripts, immunizations, or Mandated Reporter Training AB 1207. LPA also advised Kayla to make sure teachers are always having visual observation of the children when playing outside or inside the classroom. Kayla stated that staff has taken the CPR training both online and in person. No staff present today has a valid CPR training. LPA explained to kayla that the CPR needs to be conducted in person and nothing should be taken online. Report Continued onto LIC 809-C
