25 | On June 17, 2024., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van met with Assistant Director Tunisia Kemp for an unannounced required annual inspection. The purpose of the inspection was explained. LPA was informed that the director is currently on vacation. This is a combination center with infants & toddlers and a preschool program. The preschool program operates under separate license #380504942. Fifteen infants and toddlers were supervised by seven teachers, of which two were qualified infant teachers and five teachers’ aides. The facility complies with the required teacher-infant ratios today. All staff members have undergone criminal record clearances verified with the CDSS Guardian Background Check System. The hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 5:00 pm.
LPA inspected the Center for Health and Safety Hazards along with the Assistant Director. The infant's program operates in rooms 1 to 5. However, according to the Assistant Director, only two classrooms are currently being used due to low enrollment for summer session. The facility maintains a proper record of sign-in/out for infants, and all parent signatures match the number of infants present. The infants' classroom appeared clean and organized, with appropriate heating, lighting, and ventilation. The Center provides age-appropriate toys, furnishings, changing tables, and equipment. LPA did not observe any pools, spas, or other bodies of water, nor did they notice any bouncers, exersaucers, or similar equipment at the facility. According to the Assistant Director, no firearms or weapons are present at the Center, and all cleaning materials and potentially hazardous objects are kept out of reach of children. Personnel restrooms are separate from children; all solid waste storage containers have tightly fitted lids. The Center also maintains a carbon monoxide detector, centralized smoke alarm, fully equipped fire extinguisher, and First Aid kit.
