Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Thompson and Trinh conducted an on-site visit for the purpose of an annual /random Inspection. LPAs toured the facility inside and outside then met with Director Inoka Jayasinghe when she arrived at approximately 10:00 AM. The floor and yard plan (LIC 999) were verified. Census was taken in each individual classroom. LPAs observed a total of 12 infants with three staff, nine preschool age children with one staff, and seven school-age children with one staff. Facility hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. A review of the Facility Personnel Report Summary on this date indicates all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. While touring the facility at 9:40 AM, LPAs observed eight preschool age children sitting at the tables eating without any staff present inside the preschool classroom. LPAs walked around the corner and found the preschool staff in charge of the eight children eating assisting a child inside the restroom. LPAs did not observe any items which could pose a danger to children (poisons, detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, or hazardous items) inside the preschool or school-age classroom. There is drinking water available indoors for children in care. Children also bring their water bottles from home. The children's bathrooms are clean and sanitary. Children nap on cots if they choose to sleep, and bedding is stored individually and is taken home weekly.

During the inspection of the indoor infant activity space, LPAs did not observe any items which could pose a danger to children (poisons, detergents, cleaning compounds, medications or hazardous items). All storage containers for solid waste, including moveable bins, have tight fitting covers that are kept on and are in good repair. Bottles and containers of food brought by the infant’s authorized representative were not labeled with the infant’s name and current date. Infant changing tables are placed within arm’s reach of a sink. The facility has age-appropriate furniture and equipment including, but no limited to, cribs, cots, or mats, changing table and feeding chairs. The facility has sufficient infant napping equipment that meets the requirements. A baby walker was not observed during today’s visit. The facility has conducted an emergency drill within the past six months, last drill conducted on 6/11/2025. The facility has a working carbon monoxide detector and fire alarm. Facility met all posting requirement. The California Child Passenger Safety Law was posted by the entrance of the facility. The outdoor activity space was inspected for compliance. The playground was enclosed by a fence at least four feet in height. The surface of the outdoor activity space was well maintained and free of hazards. Drinking water in the outdoor activity space is by sports bottles. The outdoor equipment and toys were in good repair and free of sharp edges. There are no bodies of water present at the facility. The facility grounds were safe, sanitary and in good repair. LPAs reviewed files for five staff present during the inspection. Health screening and immunization records as required were reviewed. Beginning September 1, 2016, Health and Safety (H&S) 1596.7995 states, a person shall not be employed or volunteer at a day-care center if he or she has not been immunized against influenza, pertussis, and measles. Proof of immunization against pertussis, measles for five staff were reviewed and within compliance. Continue to page 3 Page 3 Beginning March 31, 2018, H&S Code 1596.8662 requires all directors and employees to complete mandated reporting training, and to renew the training every two years. Staff present possesses current EMSA approved child CPR/First Aid certifications, which expires 10/2025. Children's records were reviewed, and there was a separate, complete, and current record for each child. A random sample of five children's files were reviewed for documentation of the child’s name, address, and telephone number of the child’s authorized representative and of relatives or others that can assume responsibility for the child if the authorized representative cannot be reached when necessary (LIC 700) and a medical assessment. In the areas reviewed the children’s files were found to be not in full compliance. LPA observed staff are not documenting infant safe sleep once every 15 minutes during nap times. Staff stated they write the information on the white board and at the end of day they transfer the information into the ProCare app. Staff were unable to provide proof of 15 minute nap logs during the visit. Sign in/out procedure was reviewed for compliance. The facility currently uses ProCare. The person who signs the child in and out uses their full legal signature and records the time of the day.
