On 01/16/2021, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Juvenal Moctezuma conducted an announced prelicensing inspection and met with Owner, Amy Sanchez & Site Supervisor, Maria Navarro. LPA explained the reason of the inspection and a tour of the center was conducted both inside and outside. The center is located on 2015 S. Encina St in Visalia, CA. Amy is doing a change of ownership and is requesting a preschool capacity of 30 preschool children. This program will operate year-round from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Friday. This program will operate in classrooms labeled Green, Blue, Yellow, & Red. Parents will provide breakfast & lunch to their children as center will only provide morning & afternoon snacks. Amy stated they have a plan in place in case parents forget to bring lunch for their child. The center has a kitchen where food can be heat up and/or stored. The kitchen is inaccessible to children by the use of a gate and a door which is closed and locked from the inside. Amy stated that children will eat in their designated classrooms. There is no hot running water in the kitchen, but Amy stated that she will make sure there is hot running water before the center gets licensed. Staff will utilize the staff bathroom located in front of the office. Ill children will be isolated in the site supervisors office and will use the staff bathroom.

The classrooms had age appropriate toys and was free of toxins. LPA advised Amy to clean the classrooms since the baseboards appeared to be dusty along with the window seals and wooden furniture/cubbies. The cleaning items will be stored in a locked closet inside the staff bathroom. LPA observed that the furniture and equipment appeared to be safe and in good condition. A working carbon monoxide is installed in hallway. Amy stated that she will have a sanitation table outside the center so parents can sign in/out their children. Staff are doing wellness checks every morning during drop off and take the children's and staffs temperatures.

Room measurements were taken and reviewed with Amy. The total inside preschool area measured to an approximate 885 square feet which will only accommodate 25 preschool children. Amy amended her application during the inspection. There is adequate storage space available for children's belongings in each classroom.

Toys and equipment appeared to be age appropriate. The Cots will be stored inside the staff bathroom and directors office. Amy stated that bedding/sheets get sent home to parents to get washed every week on Friday. Amy stated that if parents forget, they have spares stored in the office if needed. There is a total of 4 toilets and 3 sinks/hand washing fixtures which will accommodate the newly requested capacity of 25 preschool children. Amy stated that she will use water jugs with disposable cups for drinking water in each classroom. Children are allowed to bring their own water bottles. There is a water fountain in the red room but due to Covid, it’s not going to be used. Water jugs will be used for the outside play area as well.

The approximate outside square footage for the preschool area is 7,658 which will accommodate the newly requested capacity of 25 Preschool Children. The backyard preschool play area has a wooden fence all around. LPA observed a patio and age appropriate toys. LPA observed a pool in the neighbors yard which does not have a fence around it. Amy's wooden fence has wooden slats going horizontal which can potentially be used as steps. LPA advised Amy to fix the fence to potentially prevent a child from climbing over and having access to the neighbors built in pool. Amy stated that she will install plywood all around the fence and make sure the fence is sturdy. LPA observed protruding nails on the wooden fence and some broken slats which will need to be replaced. The front yard is fenced all around. LPA observed a small slide and swing set that needs to be repainted since rust is showing. Amy stated that she will remove the ruber chips and add wood chips underneath those structures to cushion the fall zones. Amy stated she will cover the holes made by gophers with dirt. Amy stated that she will add shade (Pergula) in the front yard as there is none at the moment. The garage is used as a storage for all children's equipment. LPA reminded Amy to provide adequate supervision at all times.

A fire clearance for 30 preschool children was received and granted by the City of Visalia Fire Department on 12/11/2020. A new fire clearance will be sent out to accommodate the newly requested capacity of 25 preschool children.
