LPAs reviewed the reason of the inspection, and a tour of the center was conducted both inside and outside. This is new preschool application, and the applicant is requesting 48 preschool children ages 3-5. This program will operate year round. This facility will provide full-time care from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Friday. This facility is on the campus of Fairview Elementary School. This program will operate in classrooms 20 & 21. Applicant is aware to contact Fresno Community Care Licensing for a change in classrooms and/or change in capacity.
Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test. The facility was constructed in 2023 therefore is not subject to test their water for lead contamination at this time.
Director Anna Pena stated that the children will be provided breakfast, lunch, and PM snack from the elementary school. The meals are prepped in the school cafeteria, then transported to the classrooms to be served.
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. There are enough tables, cubbies, chairs, and plenty of toys for children to play. There are working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in classrooms, located on the ceiling.
LPA reviewed with Director Anna Pena, 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. Classroom changes of furniture shall be situated that 100% visual supervision is always provided to children in care.
