On November 10, 2022 at 1:00 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Susana Martinez conducted an announced pre licensing inspection for an infant center with a toddler option. Prior to entering the facility, LPA met with administrator Taundra Pitchford and director Loida Mesa. LPA conducted a COVID-19 risk assessment. All answers indicated no exposure to COVID-19. LPA discussed the nature and purpose of the inspection. Adults in the Childcare center have obtained a criminal background clearance.

The center will be operating Mon- Fri from 7:30 am- 5:30 PM in Building I. Licensee states the center plans to provide AM and PM snacks only. No bodies of water were present at the time of the inspection. LPA observed sufficient cubbies for children to place belongs in. Napping cots were observed to be clean and readily available for children in care. Licensee states they plan to serve children who are at least 1 year old and older and do not plan on using cribs. Children over 1 year old can climb out of cribs, therefore cots will be used. Licensee states children who do not nap will be redirected to outdoor play and/or will be re-directed to indoor play separate from the napping children. There are two restrooms available. In the first restroom there are 2 toilets, 1 sink and 1 changing table within arms reach of the sink. In the second restroom there is 1 toilet, 1 sink, and a changing table is planned to be placed within arms reach of the sink.

The room is divided in two sections. The toddler section has the capacity to accommodate 11 children at a time. The infant section has the capacity to accommodate 6 infants at a time. Total capacity allowed in the room is for 17 children at a time. Age-appropriate toys and learning materials were observed throughout the indoor spaces.
