Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Jennifer “Jen” Beehler, met with Director Terry Beckett, for an unannounced Required- 1 Year Inspection. LPA was granted access to the facility by the Facility Representative and toured both indoors and outdoors during the inspection. Upon arrival, there were 13 children (preschool-age) and 6 staff (4 teachers/1 assistant/ 1 Director) present, which is compliant with the facility license capacity and ratio requirements. LPA observed a posting wall near the entrance to the facility, but the facility license was missing. Hours of operation for the facility are Monday – Friday, 07:30AM-06:00PM. There is an active waiver for parents to use an electronic sign in/out system.

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. All staff people present had criminal record clearance.

LPA reviewed sign-in/out sheets, facility roster (LIC9040), and fire/disaster drill log during today’s inspection. Sign-in/out was observed to be completed with full legal signature and time of day. The last fire/disaster drill was conducted on 12/06/2024, which is compliant with the six month requirement for facilities. LPA observed a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher that was last serviced 01/01/2024. There was a fully functioning smoke detector system for the whole facility. During the inspection a carbon monoxide detector was missing. Director ordered one and installed it during inspection.
