On March 19, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hanson Leong conducted an unannounced annual visit. LPA met with the Director, Jiawen “Jojo” Wei, and explained the purpose of the visit.

Today's visit included 51 children (7 toddlers and 44 pre-k) and 9 staff members.

LPA reviewed the electronic app where parents sign their children into the facility and found all signatures were accounted for.

LPA confirmed that all nine 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 January 13, 2025, and the LPA observed that it was documented. LPA reviewed the emergency disaster drill log and found that the last emergency disaster drill was conducted on March 11, 2024, exceeding the every six-month requirement. The facility was issued a technical violation for not meeting the every six-month requirement for emergency disaster drills.

The facility had a first aid kit, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fully charged fire extinguishers.

LPA inspected the indoor 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 had 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 bathrooms were clean, fully operational, and equipped with suitable toileting equipment and sanitation products.

The facility does not have an outdoor play area for the children, which requires the facility to have a waiver. A waiver was posted in the facility, and the LPA observed 27 children in the gross motor indoor play space, meeting the waiver's requirements.

The director stated that the facility currently provides lunch and snacks for the children from an outside vendor and that there are children with allergies, but they do not require medication to be onsite.

The facility offers mats for children to rest or nap on. LPA observed that blankets were available for each child. The facility provides blankets for their children and washes them daily. Per the director, the mats are wiped daily with sanitation wipes.

LPA reviewed the files of five 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 two children under two and confirmed they were complete.

LPA reviewed the files of five staff members and confirmed that all had complete records. LPA verified that all five staff members held current Pediatric First Aid and CPR certifications.

During a review of the staff transcripts, LPA found that all five staff members had completed twelve units in Early Childhood Education (ECE), which qualifies them to serve as teachers.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test.

LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP.

Director 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.

LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with director and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. 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.

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

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.
