On May 6, 2024 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kari McWilliams, conducted an unannounced Annual Random Inspection for the preschool license. LPA met with Assistant Director Angela Lambarena and toured the facility indoors and outdoors and a census was taken. Days and hours of operation are year round Monday through Friday 7:00AM-6:00PM.

No poisons were observed during the inspection. During classroom inspections LPA observed that in one classroom there were essential oils, magic eraser cleaning sponges, lotions and sprays, hand sanitizer and Lysol cleaning wipes in a drawer that was not locked and accessible to children in care. Facility Representative immediately removed items.

There is no swimming pool or other bodies of water on the premises. There are no firearms or ammunition allowed or stored on the premises.

Furniture and equipment are in good condition, free of sharp, loose or pointed parts. Playground equipment is in safe condition, free of sharp, loose or pointed parts. During the outside play area inspection LPA asked staff how often the sand is raked; staff reported once a week. LPA noticed that there was clumps of sand that resembled animal feces and pointed it out to staff. Staff stated that sometimes they do water play and the children bring water down to the sand. Staff confirmed that they have not had water play today. LPA spoke with facility representative that got something to clean it up with and confirmed that it was cat feces and facility representative stated that it was "a lot". During the inspection of the outdoor activity space LPA also observed that the grass along the outside play area on the other side of the fence is dry and overgrown and is a fire risk. Facility Representative has requested area to be cleaned out. Areas around high climbing equipment, and slides have cushioning material to absorb falls.
