On August 15th, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arianna Manabat met with Director Robin Kemmer for an unannounced annual inspection. At 10:30 AM, LPA toured the facility including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service and outdoor play areas. Census included 26 infant children in care with 7 staff. Director was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license. Facility hours of operation are Monday through Friday 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

LPA observed a current Needs and Services plan for each infant in care. LPA observed an Infant Sleeping Plan (LIC9227) for each child under 12 months of age. LPA observed documentation that sleep checks were being conducted by staff every 15 minutes for all children under two. Bottles and baby food were kept in a refrigerator inside the classroom and LPA has observed properly labeled bottles with the child's name and date. All furnishings were in good condition. Staff stated that the bedding is changed daily. Infant diaper changing area is clean and within arm's reach of a sink. There is a one inch thick mat for the changing table with a vinyl surface. Toys are appropriate size with no small parts for the safety of the infants.

Classrooms all appeared clean including the carpets and floor. Chemicals and cleaning materials were kept inaccessible to children. Playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are in good condition. Drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors in water bottles. Bathrooms were clean and all sinks and toilets were in operating condition.

 The Director stated that there are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises and the facility has at least one functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector.

At least one staff had a current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification. LPA observed the sample of children’s files contained the appropriate documentation.

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with Facility Representative and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed licensee of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.

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).
