This is a single license conversion. The existing license number (304270907) will be consolidated with the new assigned license number (304371730). Upon arrival, LPA met with Director Jaylena Ulibarri. Applicant Lacy Bonner joined later during the facility tour. Applicant is requesting to be licensed for 24 infants ages 6wks-24mos in the Yellow & Red Room and 73 preschool children ages 2-6 yrs in Blue & Green Room for a total capacity of 97. Review of Criminal record clearances were verified through Guardian. All staff were fingerprinted and cleared. There were 20 children and 3 staff present during today’s visit. The hours of operation are Monday-Friday 7:00am to 6:00pm. During today's visit LPA measured Yellow and Red Room for infant component use for a total of 1,481.25 square feet which is sufficient to meet the capacity requested for the infant program. LPA observed all indoor activity space to be complete with age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, cribs, napping cots/mats for infants who can climb out of a crib, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Toys are safe with no sharp edges, splinters, or points, nor made of small parts that can present a choking hazard. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via filtered water dispensers. LPAs observed all hazardous items to be inaccessible to children. There are 10 toilets and 11 sinks available for children’s use and 4 sinks and 3 toilets are designated for infant program use. A separate staff restroom and Director’s office are designated when children are ill. There are no weapons on the property. There is a pool located on the premises that is rented out to a swim lesson company. LPA verified that there was a life ring 17inches in diameter, 12ft rescue pole, water alarm that is also synced sound in the director’s office and outdoor security cameras.
