On August 23, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kendal Zirbes met with Facility Representative Rebecca Magana and Zaray Ochoa. The purpose of the inspection was to conduct a required one year inspection at the licensed facility. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection to the Facility. Present during today’s inspection were 12 infant age children, one teacher, three teacher aides and additional staff members.
When LPA arrived on the premises at 8:50 a.m. there were a total of 10 infants in care. During the inspection LPA walked in and out of the infant room. At approximately 1:06pm, LPA observed 12 infants in the infant classroom. Per the infant license issued by the Department, the Center is licensed to provide care to a total of 11 infants (birth to 2 years of age). Based on LPA observation, review of attendance records and roster, the Center was providing care to 12 infants between the ages of birth to two years of age. Therefore the Center was operating beyond the conditions and limitations of the license. A Type A citation was issued as this is an immediate risk to the persons in care. Refer to LIC 809D.

The infant/toddler area consists of one classroom and a outdoor activity area. The classroom has an area for the infants, a separate area for the toddlers, a infant sleep area and an area for food preparation and diaper changing. The Center shares a kitchen, staff restrooms, staff break room and administrative office with the other licensed components. The center operates an School Age Program (#364844265) and Preschool Program (#364844266). The center operates 6:30am-6:00pm, Monday through Friday.

Indoor/Children's Area: Infant/toddler center is equipped with appropriate furniture and equipment. Furniture and toys were maintained in good repair, safe condition and was age appropriate. LPA did not observe sharp points or edges, or small parts that could be swallowed. During the tour of the classroom, LPA observed the corner climber in the toddler play space had approximately five rips in vinyl material in various areas. LPA advised the Center that the equipment was showing signs of wear and advised the Center to monitor the equipment to ensure it is in good condition. Report Continued on page two
