Facility-requested visit·February 8, 2024

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Maddox met with Director Vonda Perry today for the purpose of conducting a case management inspection. Director is requesting to increase her capacity from 6 to 12 Infants. Center is located within a strip mall and occupies Suites ---- . There is also a licensed PS ( 197750149) and SA( 197750151 ) component on the same premises, waiver on file to share the play yard. During this inspection, LPA measured Classroom #1 which is designated for Infants, there's a second classroom (rm# 2) that has 2 cribs and cots for napping, per Section 101438.3 (c) Indoor Activity Space for Infants : The calculation of indoor activity space for infants shall not include space designated and used for cribs. (1) The sleeping area for infants shall be physically separate from the indoor activity spac e. In addition, (b)(2) states Moveable walls or partitions, if used, shall be at least four feet high; shall be constructed of sound-absorbing material; and shall be designed to minimize the risk of injury to infants. Classroom #2 does not meet the requirements of Section (b)(2) above, therefore, the measurement will not be included in the total sq ft of indoor space. Classroom #1 measured 272 sq ft which is not enough space to accommodate Director's requested capacity of 12 Infants, measurements taken today can accommodate a total of 8 Infants. Fire clearance has been received for the requested capacity increase, however, measurements can only accommodate 8 Infants. An exit interview was conducted with the above items discussed and a copy of this report was provided to the Director, Vonda Perry. Final increase determination will be made upon review of the Licensing Program Manager.
