Facility-requested visit·January 22, 2024

On January 22, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Paul Garcia conducted an unannounced licensee-initiated case management inspection. LPA met with licensee Blanca Jimenez. A census was taken, and LPA toured the facility inside and out. The purpose for the inspection was to approve or deny the use of a new designated outdoor play area for children in care. LPA observed a large, shaded tent that contained many age-appropriate toys, dramatic play equipment and bikes. The play area is fenced and contains two exits. The floor was adequately cushioned with wood chips to assist in the reduction of child injuries. The back yard was clean, and LPA observed a hand washing station for children. LPA did not observe any unsafe items or conditions that pose a danger to children. LPA APROVES the outdoor play area. LPA obtained a new outdoor facility sketch to include the new dimensions of the outdoor play area. Children can now use/play on the much larger area effective immediately. Per Chapter 3, Division 12, Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations no deficiencies are observed today. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
