On 05/08/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Nancy Her conducted an announced Pre-Licensing inspection for a new license. Upon arrival, LPA met with Applicant/Facility Representative Antonieta Sandoval. Applicant is requesting to be licensed for 15 preschoolers ages 2-6 in classroom A. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday 7:30 am to 5:30 pm.

All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children was inspected today. LPA informed Antonieta Sandoval that staff are required to maintain direct visual supervision of the children at all times during indoor and outdoor activities. When medications are on site, Antonieta stated that they will be in the office. A fully equipped first aid kit is located in the office. There is an operational carbon monoxide detector on site located on the ceiling. All required licensing documents will be posted on the wall near the entrance. Children will be signed in and out at the front door.

LPA continued to tour the facility and measured all indoor and outdoor activity space. Total indoor activity space measured 539 square feet which is sufficient to accommodate the requested overall capacity of 15 children. LPA observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots/mats, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via bottled water. LPA observed all hazardous items to be inaccessible to children. There are no bodies of water or weapons on the property. Fire clearance was granted on 04/10/2024.

LPA observed a total of one sink and one toilet available for children’s use. This is sufficient to accommodate the requested overall capacity of 15 children. There is a separate staff restroom equipped with a toilet and a sink. The isolation area for children who are ill will be in the office and they will utilize the staff restroom.

Facility will provide morning and afternoon snacks. The food storage areas were observed to be free of rodents and/or vermin. Food was observed to be properly stored separate from cleaning materials.

For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1- CCP).
