On 09/05/2024 at 9:15 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), A. Curry conducted an unannounced annual/random inspection. LPA met with Director, Kelsey Keller, to explain the purpose of today's visit. This is an infant program licensed for 32 children. This facility operates Monday – Friday from 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM. Per the Director there are 29 children enrolled.

LPA A. Curry began facility tour and all areas identified on the facility sketch were inspected. Upon arrival, LPA observed 25 infants with 9 staff. Teacher-infant ratios were observed to be in accordance with Title 22 regulations. The Licensee is within the conditions, limitations, and capacity specified on the license. Staff names were recorded. All children were observed to be under visual supervision of a teacher at all times.

The facility was inspected to ensure that it is clean, safe, sanitary, and in good repair to ensure the safety and well being of children, employees and staff. Furniture and equipment were inspected for good repair, free of sharp, loose, or pointed parts. The facility has age appropriate furniture and equipment including but not limited to cribs, cots/mats and changing tables.
