At 11:55 AM on September 13th, 2023 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Mandie Goodwin met with Director Kaneesha Singh for the purpose of an unannounced 1 year required inspection. Operating hours of the facility are from 6:30 am-6:00 pm, Monday thru Friday. Director guided LPA on a tour of the facility, at which time a census of 14 infant children supervised by 4 staff was observed during nap-time.

LPA observed that each child had a Needs and Services plan. LPA observed an Individual 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 years using Brightwheel. Bottles and baby food were kept in refrigerators inside the classrooms and were properly labeled with the child's name and date. All furnishings were in good condition. Infant diaper changing area is clean. Changing table was observed to be within arm’s reach from sink. There is a mat for the changing table with a vinyl surface that is at least 1 inch thick and has raised sides. Toys are appropriate size with no small parts for the safety of the infants.

The infant classrooms 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 with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall. There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises and the facility has at least one functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector. LPA observed the appropriate postings were visible to parents and children were signed in and out of the center using Brightwheel.

All present staff files were reviewed. LPA reviewed staff transcripts and observed staff being utilized as teachers were qualified. Aids are being used appropriately. Director was reminded the certificate must be renewed every two years and can be renewed at mandatedreporterca.com. LPA did not observe immunization records, TB tests, or Health Screenings for 3 staff members. Continued on 809-C
