At 9:15 AM, LPA inspected the backyard and confirmed that no swimming pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water were present, in compliance with childcare licensing regulations. The outdoor play area contains age-appropriate play equipment and furnishings, including tables, chairs, ride-on toys, slides, tricycles, playhouses, a play kitchen, scooters, and a swing set. The swing set is securely anchored into the ground with cushioning material underneath to help absorb the impact of falls. The backyard is fully fenced and free of defects or hazardous conditions. A large awning provides shade and protection from direct sunlight during outdoor play. LPA also observed a storage shed that was securely locked to prevent children from accessing equipment and tools stored inside.
LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.

All children's files contained the required Parent Notification of Additional Children in Care, Identification and Emergency Information, Parent's Rights, and Medical Consent forms. During the inspection, LPA also reviewed the immunization records for the licensees and the children in care and verified that the licensees are in compliance with the immunization requirements applicable to licensed child care providers.

Additionally, the licensees completed the required Mandated Reporter Training on August 26, 2024. LPA reviewed the facility roster and verified that it accurately reflects the children currently enrolled as well as those who are no longer attending the facility. The facility maintains a sleep log for children under 24 months of age, and LPA verified that the sleep log was complete and maintained in compliance with licensing requirements.
