Follow-up·August 8, 2023

On 8/8/2023 @ 12:00 p.m., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Joelle Redding, met with Cajon Valley ECE Coordinator, Kathleen Cordero and School Principal, Lesley Ezop for a requested room change. The preschool will be moving from Room 204 to Room P2. The facility applied for Room P1 and the fire clearance was granted on 8/2/23. Howeve, there was a mix up and the 3-5 year old special needs program has set up that Room. Ms. Cordero indicated that the fire marshal inspected both rooms during the visit on 8/2/23 and a phone call to Inspector Frankie Rodriguez confirmed this. Licensing will send an updated STD 850 to Inspector Rodriquez with the amended information to reflect P2 and the appropriate age group of 3 to kindergarten. During this visit, the furnishing and supplies were in the room but not yet set up. LPA inspected the furnishing and equipment and found them to be age appropriate and in good repair. There are two toilets and two handwashing sinks. One of the toilets was non-operational today. A work order has been placed to fix the toilet prior to the start of the school year on 8/17/23. LPA verified that no food preparation will be done with either sink. Meals come prepared from Child Nutrition Services. There will be two programs, a morning program serving breakfast from 8 to 11 and an afternoon program, serving lunch, from 11:45 to 2:45. The school was AKA - Head Start - Redwood until June 30th when the school year ended. There have been no changes to the room. Measurements taken from the prelicensing (10/19/15) for the prior preschool will apply. The room measures 1276 sq., allowing a maximum of 36 children, more than sufficient for the current licensed capacity of 24 children. In addition, the attached, fully fenced playground measures 7920 sq. ft., allowing a maximum of 105 children outdoors. The special needs preschool classroom next door will be sharing the playground. Their classes will not exceed 10 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon. Combined, there would not be more than 34 children outside any anytime. Ms. Cordero understands that each group is to be supervised by their own staff and the program will not be supervising each others at any time. Upon final set up of the classroom, Ms. Cordero will send photos of the classroom for the facility file. A completed work order for the broken toilet will be submitted as proof of repair. Upon review of these items and receipt of the signed fire clearance with the amendments, the room change will be approved and a new license sent for posting. NOTICE OF SITE VISIT WAS PROVIDED TODAY AND WILL REMAIN POSTED FOR 30 DAYS.
