Today's visit included 31 infants and 13 staff members.

LPA reviewed the sign in/sign out sheet where parents sign their children into the facility and found all signatures were accounted for.

LPA confirmed that all 13 staff members had obtained criminal record clearances from the California Department of Social Services. The facility remains within its capacity limits and meets the required ratios for today’s visit.

LPA observed that all required documents, such as the facility license, waivers, notification of parents’ rights, personal rights, car seat laws, and emergency disaster plan, were displayed and visible to the public.

The most recent emergency disaster drill was conducted on March 3, 2025, and the LPA observed that it was documented. LPA reviewed the emergency disaster drill log and found that it was conducted at least once every six months.

The facility had first aid kits, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fully charged fire extinguishers. LPA did not test the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors because some of the children were napping.

LPA inspected the indoor and outdoor areas for health and safety hazards. The facility was clean, safe, and well-maintained. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and toxic substances were stored in locations inaccessible to children. All accessible cabinets and drawers in the classrooms were free of hazardous materials.

LPA observed that the facility’s classrooms were equipped with age-appropriate toys, furniture, and educational materials. The facility also included designated storage areas for each child, labeled with their names. Electrical outlets were fitted with child safety covers to prevent children's access. The facility had four diaper-changing stations within arm’s reach of a sink.

The outdoor playground has a fence that is at least four feet tall. The play equipment is in good condition and does not have sharp, loose, or pointed parts. There are no pools, spas, or bodies of water on the property.

The directors stated that the facility currently does not provide formula or lunch for the children but that families provide lunches and formula for their children. The directors stated that there are no documented allergies among any of the enrolled children.

The facility offers different options for children to rest or nap, including mats, cots, and cribs. LPA observed that sheets and blankets were available for each child. Infant mattresses are firm and equipped with appropriately sized sheets. All cribs are well-maintained and free of loose items that could pose safety risks. The facility provides blankets for their children and washes them weekly. Parents may also provide blankets for their children, and they must wash them weekly.

LPA reviewed the files of 5 children and confirmed that all had complete records. The children's files contain records of emergency identification information and necessary immunizations. LPA also reviewed the 15-minute sleep records for the 5 children under two and confirmed they were complete.

LPA reviewed the files of 5 staff members and confirmed that all three had complete records. LPA verified that three of the five staff members held current Pediatric First Aid and CPR certifications, while two were not current. The facility had at least one staff member present on-site with a current Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification.

One staff (S1) was missing a record of her Tuberculosis (TB) test, and the other staff (S2) was missing a record of her MMR and TDAP vaccinations. Two technical violations were issued to the facility for missing immunization and TB records from the staff files.

LPA also informed director of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
