On 3/12/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nancy Her conducted an unannounced case management inspection and met with Lead Teacher Angelica Saldana Castro. LPA reviewed the reason of the inspection, and a tour of the center was conducted both inside and outside. This is a decrease in capacity inspection and the applicant is requesting 24 preschool children ages 2-6. This program will operate on a traditional school year schedule. This facility will provide two sessions from 8:00 am-11:00 am and 12:00 pm -3:00 pm Monday through Friday. This program will operate in classroom 72. Applicant is aware to contact the Fresno Community Care Licensing for a change in classrooms and/or change in capacity.

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

Lead Teacher Angelica Saldana Castro stated that the center gets breakfast and lunch prepared from the elementary school cafeteria and delivered to the classroom.

The classroom was observed to be clean and free of toxins. LPA observed that the furniture and equipment appeared to be safe and in good condition. The shelving units are anchored to prevent tipping onto children in care. There are enough tables, cubbies, chairs, mats and plenty of toys for children to play. LPA also reminded Lead Teacher to not store anything on top of high bookcases that could potentially fall on children. There are working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in classrooms, located on the ceiling.

LPA reviewed with Lead Teacher Angelica Saldana Castro, that any future changes to the classrooms are required to ensure that furniture does not tip over on to children, the furniture are to be anchored or situated that tipping does not occur. Classroom changes of furniture shall be situated that 100% visual supervision is always provided to children in care.
