Pre-licensing visit·March 2, 2023

A prelicensing inspection was conducted today at 10:30am by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Laura Chavez. LPA met with applicants Erica Metzen and Shannon Sivadon. The applicants are requesting a license for infants, with a capacity of 16. The facility will operate Monday-Friday, 7am to 6pm. The facility has one bathroom for staff use. The indoor and outdoor activity spaces were toured, and the facility sketch was verified. The following areas will be off limits to children: janitorial/storage room and staff bathroom. These areas have been made inaccessible by means of locks. There is a kitchen area to store/prepare meals. There is a nap area for infants to sleep with 6 cribs and cots available. Applicants understand awake infants will not be allowed in the napping area while infants are sleeping. The isolation area for sick children will be located in the office located in the preschool building. The changing table is located within arm reach of a sink. The outdoor play area is fully fenced and adequate cushioning underneath. A waiver request is requesting to allow infants to share the outdoor play area with preschool age children at different times. There is no pool, spa, pond, fountain, or any other body of water on the premises. There is safe and age appropriate furniture, toys, and play equipment available for children. A capacity worksheet was completed during the visit. There is enough indoor space for 18 children and outdoor space for 75 children. A second waiver request is requesting to allow the one bathroom in the infant building to be designated as the staff bathroom to be used between the preschool and infant staff. Based on the above, the maximum capacity of the facility could be 18. LPA reviewed with the applicants the LIC 311A, Records To Be Maintained At The Facility, for child\342\200\231s records, personnel records, administrative records, and documents to be posted. Applicants were reminded that all adults 18 and over responsible for administration or direct supervision of staff, persons who provides care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with applicant/licensee/facility representative and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at: www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/ safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed applicant/licensee/facility representative of the importance of checking for recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment.
