LPAs reviewed the reason for the inspection, and a tour of the center was conducted both inside and outside. This is a new facility, and the applicant is requesting a license for 54 preschool children ages 2-6. This facility will not be providing a Toddler option program at this time. The center is located at the address 1537 Fulton St. Fresno, CA 93721 and is requesting to utilize an outdoor activity space located at 1525 Fulton St. Fresno, CA 93721. Licensee is Cornerstone Assembly of God, Fresno who owns the property where indoor and outdoor activities will take place. Director stated that when the conference room at 1525 Fulton St. is not being rented out by the Applicant that children will be escorted to the outside area by staff through the room. An alternate route to the outside area will be for staff to escort children along Fulton St. to the outside area. This program will operate year-round Monday through Friday from 7:00 am – 5:30 pm. This program will operate in Classrooms 101 and 102 downstairs and Classroom 202 upstairs on the second floor. Applicant is aware to contact the Fresno Community Care Licensing office for a change in classrooms and/or change in capacity. Parents will escort the children to their respective classrooms and staff will conduct the daily health check. Director stated that the center will provide breakfast, lunch and AM and PM snacks. Food will be prepared at the kitchen located at 1525 Fulton St which is owned by the applicant. Ill children will be isolated in the staff room (Room 103) and utilize the adjacent staff bathroom located in the room. The classrooms were observed to be clean and free of toxins. LPA observed that the furniture and equipment appeared to be safe and in good condition. The cubbies and tall indoor play equipment are anchored to prevent tipping onto children in care. There are enough tables, cubbies, chairs, cots and plenty of toys for children to play with. LPA also reminded Director to not store anything on top of high shelves that could potentially fall on children. There is a working smoke detector and carbon monoxide detectors in the classrooms. LPAs reviewed with Director, that any future changes to the classrooms are required to ensure that furniture does not tip over on to children, the furniture are to be anchored or situated that tipping does not occur.
