25 | On October 9, 2024., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van met teacher, Mairead Daugharty for an unannounced annual inspection. The purpose of the inspection was explained. During the visit, the Director, Laura Wong, arrived. The center is an infant program with a toddler component. Eight teachers and the director supervised 23 children today (14 infants and 9 toddler component children). The facility complies with the required teacher-children ratios today. All staff members who were present during the inspection had criminal record clearance verified with the CDSS Guardian Background check site. The days and operations hours are Monday - Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
LPA inspected the Center for Health and Safety Hazards along with the Director. The Center uses both electronic and manual methods for signing in and out. Both infant and toddler classrooms were 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 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 has centralized combination smoke alarms & carbon monoxide detectors, as well as multiple fire extinguishers. Designated cubbies are available for children to store their belongings.
