On 03/11/24 at 10am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Samantha Clenista conducted an unannounced case management site inspection to address facility’s change of capacity application. Upon arrival, LPA met with Facility Representatives, Josefina Curiel (Center Director) and Lisa Grygera (Area Director). All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children were inspected today. The facility requested a decrease in capacity from 40 children to 20 children (ages 2-5 years old) in just Classroom #4. Facility converted their Classroom #5 which was a preschool room, into an infant room. Fire clearance was granted on 01/30/24. The facility also houses an infant and toddler program. LPA observed that the preschool areas (both indoors and outdoors) were physically separate from the infant and toddler play areas. LPA informed Facility Representatives that the programs shall never commingle at any given time and that staff are required to maintain direct visual supervision of the children at all times during indoor and outdoor play to ensure the health and safety of the children. LPA observed a total of 14 children with 2 staff members during inspection.

LPA inspected Classroom #4 and the preschool playground. Facility Representatives stated there is no change in the Preschool Classroom #4 or the playground (other than taking out the patio that was attached to Classroom #5). Classroom #4 was previously measured by LPA Rajani Goudreau on 05/05/2021, and it measured at 1,032.23 sq. ft., sufficient to accommodate updated requested capacity. Indoor play space was observed to be complete with age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots/mats, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. There is a total of 3 toilets and 2 sinks available for the preschool children. LPA observed there to be an exit door within the classroom that leads directly to an alleyway and busy street. Facility has in place an alarm when opened, however during inspection, the alarm was not operational. Facility building maintenance stated they will install a new alarm since the one that is currently in place is worn out. This alarm is set in place so that the staff can immediately be aware of when the door is open to ensure the health and safety of children while they are in the room. There is an operational carbon monoxide detector on site located in each classroom. All required documents were observed posted in the main parent drop off/pick up area.

Outdoor playground was observed to be separate from the other outdoor playgrounds. The Preschool playground area and Preschool Patio (attached to Room #4) was measured at a total of 2,942.8 sq. ft., sufficient for requested capacity. LPA informed Facility Representatives that children must be escorted to and from the playground, and that staff must maintain direct supervision at all times to ensure the health and safety of all children. Area was observed to be fully fenced. Area had age-appropriate toys and play equipment and had rubber turf under play structure, sufficient to sustain a fall. Facility Representatives were reminded that any changes to the facility must be reported to and approved by Community Care Licensing.

Prior to granting facility’s capacity change, the facility shall submit proof of the exit alarm in Classroom #4 to be operational to LPA via video no later than 03/13/24. Exit interview was conducted and report was reviewed with Facility Representatives. A license for 20 children (ages 2-5 years old) in Classroom #4 may be granted after receiving the above-mentioned correction. Facility Representatives stated they understand that this report shall be kept available at the facility for public review for 3 years.

Director is advised that her response to the email within 24 hours of receiving it will act as her signature.
