25 | On October 09, 2020 at 9:25 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Francisco Pedroza conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection. Due to the COVID - 19 and Department of Public Health guidelines of social distancing, a tele-inspection was conducted. LPA met with Director Paige Harris and discussed the nature and purpose of the inspection. The tele-inspection was conducted via Facetime. During this tele-inspection the applicant took LPA on a tour of the facility. Licensee had 24 children in care at the time of the inspection.
Licensee submitted application to the Community Care Licensing requesting to increase their capacity and add a second studio room at the childcare center. The facility uses the gym, outdoor blacktop, and one studio. Currently the facility has a waiver regarding their swimming pool. On September 9, 2020 the Ventura County Fire Department inspector conducted a fire inspection. The facility received a fire clearance approval for the second classroom. The second studio room is normally an exempt room the facility gym utilizes for gym members to have care for their children when using the gym. Due to COVID-19 the gym’s exempt children room is closed until further notice. The studio has one private restroom with one toilet and sink. Director was informed that once the facility gym resumes operations to provide exempt care for gym members, the licensed room will no longer be authorized to provide care for children under their license. Director advised they must contact Community Care Licensing and inform them that the gym is resuming normal operations. An updated application must be submitted. Facility’s current capacity is 30 and are requesting to increase to 44 children.
Studio indoor 726 square feet meets the requirement for 14 children.
