On 9/5/24, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Saraliz Velando and Victoria Hernandez conducted an annual inspection. Upon arrival LPA met with Director Jennel Denham and proceeded to tour the facility. There was a total of 18 preschool children and 3 staff members present. Licensee/Aide Gregory Denham was also at the facility during the inspection. Appropriate ratios and capacity were observed. Staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility.

Furniture and age-appropriate equipment is in good condition indoors and outdoors. Children's toilets and hand washing facilities are sanitary. Rooms are safe and clean. Storage containers for solid waste are covered. The director states that all food/snacks are supplied by parents and brought from home. Drinking water is readily accessible inside and outside the classroom from a Carlsbad water company and is replenished on a weekly basis. Disinfectants and hazardous items are inaccessible to children through latches, locks, and placed out of reach.

Medications are kept in a locked cabinet inaccessible to children in the director’s office. The outdoor play area is fenced. Playground equipment is in safe condition, free of sharp, loose or pointed parts. The area under high climbing equipment such as swings or slides is cushioned with material that absorbs the impact from a fall. The outdoor play area has canopies and umbrellas used for shade. There are no bodies of water or weapons at this facility. Fire drills are being conducted every 6 months and last drill was on 9/4/24. There is an operational carbon monoxide detector that is combined with the fire alarm system at the facility and was last checked 4/22/24. First Aid/CPR certifications were reviewed and are in compliance.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22-02- CCP. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice) or (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA are available at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/child-care-centers/.

Admission agreement, emergency information and medical assessment forms were reviewed for some children. Sign In/Sign Out sheets are well maintained. Staff records contain documentation of education, training, and/or experience. LPA obtained an updated Emergency Disaster Plan for Child Care Centers- LIC610, Personnel Report and Children’s Roster. Child Care Providers can now sign up for Quarterly Updates and PINS through the DSS website. Please go to www.ccld.ca.gov and click on Child Care, go under Quick Links and Quarterly Updates, click on “Receive Important Updates” then enter your email address and choose which program(s) you would like to subscribe to and click “subscribe”.


Director Denham was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, 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 for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

The director was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org website; a consumer education website that helps families obtain child care by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California. To improve the quality and value of the new inspection process, a survey will be sent to the email address provided. Please complete the survey and share your inspection experience. If you have any questions regarding the process or tools, please send them by email to inspectionprocess@dss.ca.gov. For additional information regarding the inspection and its tools and methods, please visit the Program website at www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/community-care-licensing/process.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with Director Denham. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
