On 6/7/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Theresa Marquez conducted an unannounced Required 1 year inspection at The Learning Experience. LPA met with Director, Amanda Flores, and toured the facility indoors and outdoors.
This program operates seven classrooms, year round and provides full-time and part time options from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM Monday through Friday. The center provides AM/PM snacks and lunch.

Capacity and limitations as specified on the license are being maintained. The name of the child care center Director or fully-qualified teacher(s) designated to act in the Director's absence has been reported to the Department. The facility maintains a ratio of one teacher supervising no more than 12 children in care. All children are under supervision, including visual supervision, of a teacher at all times.


Floors in the facility were clean and safe. Furniture and equipment were in good condition, free of sharp, loose or pointed parts. Children's toilets and hand washing facilities were sanitary and in good operating condition. All food was protected against contamination and any contaminated food is discarded immediately. Solid waste storage containers had tight-fitting covers and were in good repair. Menus are posted at least one week in advance where an authorized representative can view them. Drinking water was available both indoors and outdoors. The facility had one or more functioning carbon monoxide detectors that meet statutory requirements.
There were no bodies of water, firearms and/or ammunition on the premises. Playground equipment was in safe condition, free of sharp, loose or pointed parts. The surface of the outdoor activity space was maintained in a safe condition and was free of hazards. Areas around high climbing equipment have cushioning material to absorb falls.
A sample of children's files were reviewed and contained contact information for authorized representative and/or relatives or others who can assume responsibility for the child and medical assessment. LPA also reviewed a sample of staff files and observed they contained health screening, immunization records for influenza, pertussis, and measles and current documentation of completed Mandated Reporter Training. At least one person trained in CPR and pediatric First Aid is present when children are at the facility or at off-site activities. Continued on LIC809-C
