On 11/03/2021, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Juvenal Moctezuma conducted an announced prelicensing inspection and met with owner, Alexis Savedra & Site Supervisor Heidi Brown. LPA explained the reason of the inspection and a tour of the center was conducted both inside and outside. The center is located on 7737 Meany Ave Suite A1 in Bakersfield, CA. Applicant is requesting a preschool capacity of 30 preschool children. This program will operate year round from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday. This program will operate in one preschool classroom.

Breakfast, am snack, lunch, & a pm snack will be provided by the center. Applicant stated that the food will be prepped in the kitchen and delivered to the classroom for children to eat. In the event that the applicant decides to change and have parents provide lunch then the applicant was made aware to update her parent handbook and notify licensing of any changes. They will also need to have a plan in place in case parents forget to bring their child Lunch. Alexis understood. The cleaning supplies will be stored in the kitchen and underneath the children's sink in the classroom. The cabinets have a plastic lock in place to prevent children from having access. The kitchen will remain closed and locked during day-care hours. There is a refrigerator, microwave and hot running water in the kitchen along with more cleaning supplies. Staff will utilize the staff bathroom located next to the kitchen/staff lounge. Ill children will be isolated in the site supervisors office and will use the staff bathroom.

The classroom was observed to be clean and free of toxins. LPA observed that the furniture and equipment appeared to be safe and in good condition. LPA reminded applicant to not store anything on top of the children's cubbies or tall bookcases that could potentially fall on the children. Alexis understood. Alexis will submit proof of a working carbon monoxide inside the center. She also stated that she will have a sanitation station at the front entrance where staff will do wellness checks every morning during drop off and take the children's and staffs temperatures.
