Facility-requested visit·July 20, 2022

On July 20, 2022 at 2:10 pm, Licensing Program Analysts, (LPA) Jessica Rubio and Ana Noble arrived at the facility to conduct a licensee initiated case management for a room change. The new classroom to be used on the school site is Room #41 and the multi-purpose room will be used for extra activities. There is a waiver on file for the facility to share the school age playground. The site has use of two bathrooms, one bathroom has (2) toilets, (1) urinal and (2) sinks. The other bathroom has (2) toilets and (2) sinks. Per Health and Safety Code Section 1596.806 the following applies: (a) A room used as a classroom by a school-age child care program shall not be required to meet the square footage or toilet requirements for child day care centers if the program is operated on either of the following: (1) A functioning school site in the same facilities that have housed school children during the day, before or after school hours, or before and after school hours. (2) A functioning school site in facilities certified as usable as a classroom for instruction. A building owned by a school district, the state, or the school-age child care program may meet the certification requirement if either of the following is provided to the department: (A) Evidence that the building was approved as a classroom by the office of the State Architect. (B) A certification statement signed by the superintendent of the schools, or his or her designee, in the district where the school-age child care program is located, that the classroom building is of sufficient size to accommodate public instruction. The school district may make this certification regardless of the ownership of the classroom. (b) School grounds, other than rooms used as classrooms, used by a school-age child care program operated on a functioning school site pursuant to either paragraph (1) or (2) of subdivision (a) shall be exempt from all of the following requirements imposed by the department on child day care facilities: (1) Fencing, outdoor activity space, toilet, and isolation space requirements. The facility still needs to provide the school site fire clearance as well as the the evidence required under Health & Safety Code Section 1596.806 (2)(B) noted above.
