Facility-requested visit·April 4, 2023

Application Specialist (AS) Alecia Sifuentes met with Site Supervisor Tareka Jackson-Ortega and Program Lead Tammy Morrison for the purpose of a case management inspection. Licensee requests a change of capacity to serve 116 school-age children from kindergarten and above. The facility is located at Joseph Sims Elementary School. The program operates Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. AS received the elementary school\342\200\231s annual passing fire inspection report on 3/9/2023. A health and safety inspection was conducted in all areas accessible to children. Site Supervisor stated that the school-age program previously utilized four classrooms but will now only be occupying three classrooms (rooms 1, 2, and 3). Per Health and Safety Code 1596.806, the facility is exempt from square footage requirement; therefore, AS did not take measurements. The children will use the school\342\200\231s restrooms, and there is a separate private restroom for staff. Site Supervisor was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the Site Supervisor, Tareka Jackson-Ortega. Effective today, 4/4/2023, AS will approve the change of capacity for 116 school-age children.
