On January 18, 2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Mila Quinto and Cynthia Sun conducted an announced Pre-Licensing inspection for a new license. Upon arrival, LPAs met with Director, Amanda Gonzalez and Area Director, Maria Rodriguez. The facility is requesting to be licensed for 16 school-age children in classrooms 1 and 2. Hours of operation will be Monday thru Friday, 6:30am-6:00 pm.

All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children was inspected today. LPA informed Amanda Gonzalez 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, Amanda Gonzalez stated that they will be in the kitchen. A fully equipped first aid kit is stored in the infant room. There is an operational carbon monoxide detector on site located in room 1. All required licensing documents were observed posted in the front entrance. Children will be signed in and out at front entrance.

LPAs continued to tour the facility and measured all indoor and outdoor activity space. Total indoor activity space measured 542.89 square feet, which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 16 children. LPAs observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via filtered water pitcher and disposable cups. 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 August 30, 2023.

LPAs observed a total of 3 sinks and 2 working toilets. However, it does not afford privacy for children as it does not provide individual privacy for children’s use. There is a separate staff restroom equipped with a toilet and a sink. The isolation area for children who are ill will be the office and will use the staff restroom.
