All individuals subject to criminal record review have obtained a criminal record clearance or exemption and are properly associated with the facility. LPA conducted a census of the children in care and verified that the attendance matched the twenty-one (21) electronic signatures recorded in the facility's electronic sign-in system.

At approximately 9:50 AM, LPA reviewed six (6) children's files. Each file contained the required Identification and Emergency Information, Medical Consent, Immunization Records, and Parent's Rights forms.

All staff files contained the required Health Screening Report, Statement Acknowledging the Requirement to Report Child Abuse, and Employee Rights forms. At least one (1) staff member with current pediatric CPR and First Aid certification was present during the inspection.

LPA tested the facility's dual smoke and carbon monoxide detector and verified that it was functioning properly. The facility is equipped with a working telephone, first aid kits, emergency backpacks, and a fully charged 2A10BC fire extinguisher that meet the standards established by the State Fire Marshal. Disaster drills are conducted at least once every six (6) months, with the most recent drill conducted on July 29, 2026.

At approximately 11:00 AM, LPA inspected the one (1) large classroom and verified that the required teacher-to-child ratios were being maintained. The classroom was thoughtfully arranged to encourage children's exploration and participation in a variety of learning activities. An adequate supply of age-appropriate educational materials and toys was available for children's use. The classroom was clean and orderly, with furniture appropriately sized for preschool-age children. All play equipment was observed to be in good condition and appropriate for the children's developmental ages. Each child had an individually designated storage space for personal belongings. The facility's designated isolation area for ill children is located in the Director's office, which is separated from the area where children receive care. All required licensing documents were posted in a location that was readily visible and accessible to the public.

• Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

• Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

LPA inspected the outdoor play areas and observed that they were fully enclosed by appropriate fencing, maintained in a safe condition, and free of hazards. The outdoor environment included a variety of developmentally appropriate equipment and activity areas, including a water station where children could access drinking water to stay hydrated during outdoor play, building magnet squares, water tubs, a climbing structure with a slide, and tricycles. All outdoor play equipment was appropriate for the children's ages, well maintained, and in good repair. A locked storage shed containing equipment and tools was observed and was inaccessible to children in care. A canopy was also provided to offer shade and protection from direct sunlight while children were using the playground.

At approximately 11:15 AM, LPA inspected the children's restroom. All sinks, toilets, and faucets were observed to be clean, safe, and in good working order. The fixtures were appropriately sized and accessible to the children in care. Soap and paper towels were readily available to support proper hand washing practices.

California Law requires Child Care Centers licensees to report unusual incidents or injuries to children in care to child's parents and to the Department of Social Services using the Unusual Incident/Injury form (LIC 624). Incidents must be reported within 24 hours by phone, fax, or electronic mail. The director was also reminded that Mandated Reporter Training ("General" and "Child Care Providers") is required for all staff and is to be renewed every 2 years by visiting www.mandatedreporterca.com.
