25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) William Chancellor conducted an unannounced annual inspection on June 30, 2026, at 7:45 AM. LPA met with Director Melissa Greenway, who provided a tour of the center. This is a combination childcare center, where the preschool component was also provided with an annual inspection on today’s date. A tour of both the indoor and outdoor areas of the facility was conducted, and the following observations were noted. During the visit the facility has eight infant children enrolled, with seven present.
The required postings, including the facility license, Emergency Disaster Plan (LIC610), Earthquake Preparedness Checklist (LIC9148), Parent’s Rights Poster (PUB393), Personal Rights (LIC613A), Child Car Seat Law, and menus, were observed to be up to date and appropriately displayed. The facility is operating within the capacity limits as stated on its license.
During the inspection, staff-to-child ratios were observed to be 1:4 or lower. Classrooms contained age and size-appropriate furniture and equipment, free of hazards. Director Greenway confirmed that no weapons are present on the premises. There is a natural creek that runs through the back side of the facility, the lower playground in currently off-limits until fencing is renovated to increase the height to at least five feet. Director confirmed and is aware that any wading pools or similar items must be emptied immediately after use and stored upright. Drinking water is available both indoors and outdoors, through individual refillable water bottles.
LPA discussed medications are stored in an area that is inaccessible to children, with the specific location noted. Hazardous items, including disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and other dangerous substances, are stored out of children’s reach, while poisons and toxins are securely locked away. The floors were observed to be clean, safe, and well-maintained. Highchairs and tables have broad-based legs, and trays that lock into place for additional safety. Changing tables are within arm’s reach of a sink, have a minimum one-inch thick padding. Proper handwashing procedures were observed before and after diapering and feeding.
