Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Maddox conducted an announced visit today and met with Vonda Perr and Rivka Jones for the purpose of conducting a second Pre-Licensing inspection for a Preschool component. Applicant is requesting licensure for 15 PS children.

During this inspection, LPA and Owner discussed the following:

There's 1 large room at the entrance of the center designated for Preschool children and possibly School-age children in the future (after application is submitted and approved). The area was re-measured today: 34 X 50 = 1700/35 = 49 children in this area. Owner will need to place a physical barrier to separate the 2 groups of children per Title 22 Section 101538.3 which states:

Section 101538.3 Indoor Activity Space for School-Age Children

There are a total of 3 bathrooms in the center, 1 bathroom will be designated for staff, 1 bathroom will be designated for PS, and the 3rd bathroom, owner is anticipating applying for a School-age license in the near future and wishes to designate the 3rd bathroom for School-age children. Each bathroom has 1 toilet and 1 sink, with the toilet sink ratios as they are today, center can accommodate 15 PS and 15 SA children.

The doors at the entrance of the building and the exit door in the rear of the building exit out to parking lots, until Owner can install an upgraded system, LPA is requesting to place door chimes on these doors so staff are alerted when doors open.

Preschool cubbies are located in the hallway area by the bathrooms

Applicant has placed area rugs over areas of the carpet that were pieced together in an effort to prevent tripping incidents.

Applicant will forward requested information from the the first Pre-licensing inspection, place door chimes on the doors, and purchase larger fire extinguishers. Once aforementioned items are received and/or corrected, center will be licensed for 15 Preschool children.
