Routine inspection·October 28, 2025

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sandra Pulido conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 10/28/25 at 8:58 a.m. LPA met with Site Supervisor Claudia Leon, who provided a tour of the preschool. During the inspection, several key facility items are available at the front office and side gate by scanning a QR code due to the campus being a closed campus. These included the facility's license, the Emergency Disaster Plan (LIC610) and Earthquake Preparedness Checklist (LIC9148), the Parent\342\200\231s Rights Poster (PUB393), Personal Rights (LIC613A), the Child Car Seat Law notice, and the menu. The facility was found to be operating within the limits stated on its license, and staff-to-child ratios were observed to be 6 children to every 1 staff . Classrooms were adequately equipped with age- and size-appropriate furniture and materials, ensuring a safe and hazard-free environment. The facility representative confirmed that no weapons were present on the premises. There were no accessible bodies of water on-site. The facility representative is aware that any wading pools or similar products must be emptied immediately after use and stored in an upright position. Drinking water was available both indoors and outdoors. Children bring their own refillable water bottles and can use the filtered water in the filling station located outside of Room 1E. Per facility representative, small pre-packaged water bottles are also available. LPA verified that lead testing was completed on 11/17/22 , and the next testing is due by 11/17/27 (five years from the initial test date). Medications, disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and other hazardous materials were stored in locations inaccessible to children, while poisons and toxins were securely locked away. The facility\342\200\231s floors were observed to be safe and clean, and bathroom facilities were sanitary and in proper working condition. The playground was enclosed by a secure, chain link fence surrounding the perimeter of the classrooms and divides the facility classrooms from the elementary school classrooms. The fencing included self-closing gates and was free of hazards . Outdoor activity areas contained age- and size-appropriate equipment in good condition. The food is brought in from the school district and the school kitchen is not utilized for food preparation. Storage containers for solid waste had tight-fitting covers, which were kept on and in good repair. The sign-in/sign-out records are through a QR code and found to be in compliance with regulations. Disaster drills are conducted at least every six months, with the most recent drill occurring on 10/16/25. A review of staff and children\342\200\231s records was conducted as part of this evaluation. Children's records were complete, and staff records confirmed that all present staff met the minimum qualifications for their respective positions. 5 of 7 staff members on-site held current Pediatric CPR/First Aid certifications, with expiration dates recorded. Both the opening and closing staff members also had valid CPR/First Aid certifications. The Director has completed Health and Safety Training. Additionally, a review of staff records confirmed that all facility staff and other individuals requiring caregiver background checks had received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. The Site Supervisor was reminded that all adults over the age of 18, including employees and volunteers (except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871), must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption before their initial presence in the Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100 per day for up to five days, or up to 30 days for repeat violations, may be assessed for noncompliance. This facility provides IMS.
