25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jesse Gardner conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 03/13/2025 at 10:30 AM. LPA met with Director Keena Coleman who provided a tour of the preschool/school-age center. This facility operates as a combination childcare center, and the following licensed programs were also inspected on this date: Infant Center.
During the inspection, several key facility items were observed and updated where necessary. These included the facility's license, the Emergency Disaster Plan (LIC610) and Earthquake Preparedness Checklist (LIC9148), the Parent’s Rights Poster (PUB393), Personal Rights (LIC613A), the Child Car Seat Law notice, and the menu. The facility was found to be operating within the limits stated on its license, and staff-to-child ratios were observed to be 50 children to 10 qualified teachers broken down to 7 children to 3 teachers in Room #3, 15 children to 2 teachers in Room #4, 13 children to 2 teachers in Room #5, and 15 children to 3 teachers in Room #6. Classrooms were adequately equipped with age- and size-appropriate furniture and materials, ensuring a safe and hazard-free environment. The facility representative confirmed that no weapons were present on the premises.
There were no accessible bodies of water on-site. The director is aware that any wading pools or similar products must be emptied immediately after use and stored in an upright position. Drinking water was available both indoors and outdoors via filtered outlet inside the facility. LPA verified that lead testing was completed on 10/22/2022 and the next testing is due by 10/22/2027.
Medications, disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and other hazardous materials were stored in a location inaccessible to children, while poisons and toxins were securely locked away. The facility’s floors were observed to be safe and clean, and bathroom facilities were sanitary and in proper working condition. The playgrounds were enclosed by a secure, six-foot-tall wrought iron fence surrounding the perimeter of the center. The fencing included self-closing gates and was free of hazards. Outdoor activity areas contained age- and size-appropriate equipment in good condition.
