There is an operational carbon monoxide detector on site located next to the door used to exit to the outdoor activity area. All required licensing documents were observed posted in the main entrance. Children will be signed in and out in front of the main entrance.

LPAs continued to tour the facility and measured all indoor and outdoor activity space. Total indoor activity space measured 1629.66 square feet which is not sufficient to accommodate the requested overall capacity of 50 children. LPAs observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. At 11:30 a.m., LPAs observed the doors used to enter the facility can be opened easily. LPAs observed there is an ADT alarm that has a voice alert indicating that a door has been opened. LPAs heard the alert to have an approximate two-second delay. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via pitchers and disposable cups. The pitchers will be filled by use of filtered water gallons purchased by the applicant. LPAs 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 October 03, 2024, for a total of 48 children.

The total square footage for all the outdoor activity space for the preschool is 3013.24 square feet, which is for only 40 children at one time. A playground waiver to share the playground at different times in the AM and PM due to limited square footage shall be submitted and approved prior to licensure. LPAs did not observe a shaded rest area for children. There are sufficient outdoor age-appropriate toys and play equipment available on the playground.

There is cushioning in fall zones of climbers provided by rubber playground tiles. LPAs observed the rubber playground tiles under the pink and yellow structure may pose a potential tripping hazard due to not being leveled and raised approximately 2 inches from the ground. Drinking water is available via water pitchers filled with filtered water. Applicant representative, Shandra McCleary was reminded that any changes to the facility must be reported to and approved by Community Care Licensing.

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).
