A required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Robert Maciel. LPA met with Director, Teri Porter. The facility file was reviewed prior to this visit. A review of the personnel report on file indicates that all facility staff have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. 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.

The facility’s operating hours are 8:30 am - 4:00 pm, Monday-Friday. The facility was toured inside and outside, and the floor and yard plan submitted by the licensee were verified. Sign in/out records were reviewed and in compliance. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds and medications) were observed to be inaccessible to children. Director stated poisons are stored in the garage in the outdoor play area which was observed to be locked. LPA observed the toys, floors, desks and other equipment and surfaces are clean, toxic free, safe, and in good condition. There is uncontaminated drinking water available to children indoors and outdoors using water jug and individual water bottles. The children's bathrooms are in safe and sanitary condition. LPA observed food prep areas are clean. Food is properly stored and refrigerated as needed. There was no contaminated food observed. Garbage cans containing solid waste have tight fitting lids. There is a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher in the facility. The facility has not recorded a disaster drill within the last 6 months. Last emergency drill was recorded on 10/17/23. LPA observed the playground equipment and surface areas were in safe condition. There is bark and shredded rubber cushioning underneath play equipment to absorb falls. There were no bodies of water observed on the site. Director stated no weapons are stored on site, and none were observed.
