Licensing Program Analyst (LPAs) Cynthia Reyes and Steven Tung, conducted an announced pre-licensing site Inspection for the purpose of following up to ensure all corrections noted on the licensing report dated 08/11/2021 have been completed. LPA met with Maria Flores, Owner. Due to COVID- 19 precautionary measures were taken during the entire inspection and all individuals present during this inspection wore appropriate personal protective equipment. The applicant is requesting a total capacity of 22, having 12 Infants and a toddler option of 10 toddlers. The facility is also requesting a preschool (198020743) and school age (198020743) license. The days & hours of the infant and toddler license will be Monday- Friday 6:30 AM-6:30 PM. Applicant stated she made some changes to the facility that may change the capacity she previously requested. LPAs will need to inspect and re-measure the requested Infant/Toddler option components for new capacity determination.

At 9:30 AM, LPAs began the tour of the facility with applicant Maria, beginning outside in the Infant play yard. LPAs re-measured and observed that the infant yard needs cob webs to be cleaned around the toys before the facility is open for business. The infants have their own outdoor play yard as the applicant added a fence to separate the yard from the Toddlers and Preschoolers play yards. LPAs then were guided to the Toddler play yard, where a fence was added around their yard for separation from the other components. LPAs re-measured the toddler yard.

Corrections needed from 08/11/2021 inspected and observed on this date to be completed.
1) Need gate to separate the outside play yard & walk way. (LPAs observed and re-measured the yard).
2) Fire Extinguisher serviced. (LPAs observed service date of 08/04/2021) (Applicant brought extra from another site)
