On 10/16/25 at 9:30am, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA), Samantha Clenista and Selina Siao conducted an announced Pre-Licensing inspection for a change of component and to consolidate the existing licenses (370800634 and 370805801) into a single license. Upon arrival, LPAs met with Center Director, Hunter Donahoo. Facility is requesting to be licensed for 12 toddlers (18-36 months) in Room 1, 87 preschoolers (2-5 years old) in Rooms 2, 3, 4, 5, 73 and 75; and 35 school age children (Kindergarten to 12-years-old) in Room 70. Hours of operation will be Monday thru Friday, 7:30am-5:30pm. LPAs observed a total of 52 children with 12 staff members. LPAs informed and reminded Director that direct visual supervision of all children must be maintained at all times, including to and from bathrooms, to ensure their overall health and safety . Director stated she will remind her staff of the supervision requirements. All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children was inspected today. When medications are on site, Director stated that they will be in a locked cabinet in the room. A fully equipped first aid kit is located in the director\342\200\231s office. There is an operational carbon monoxide detector on site located in the toddler room, Room 73 and hallway leading to upstairs. All required licensing documents were observed posted in the main hallway entry. Children will be signed in and out via ProCare. LPAs continued to tour the facility and measured all indoor and outdoor activity space. Total indoor activity space for the toddlers measured at 525.28 sq. ft., which is sufficient to accommodate the requested overall capacity of 12 toddlers. Total indoor activity space for the preschoolers measured at 2,900.04 sq. ft., which is only sufficient to accommodate 82 preschoolers, instead of the requested 87. Total indoor activity space for the school-aged children measured at 1,156.04 sq. ft., which is only sufficient to accommodate 33 school-aged children, instead of the requested 35. LPAs observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots/mats, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Drinking water is available in the classrooms via filtered Brita pitchers, and each child is required to bring their own refillable water bottle. LPAs observed all hazardous items to be inaccessible to children. There are no bodies of water or weapons on the property. Fire clearance was granted on 09/10/25. LPAs observed a total of 1 sinks and 1 toilet available for toddlers use, 7 sinks and 9 toilets available for preschool use and 3 sinks and 2 toilets available for school-aged use. These are sufficient to accommodate the requested overall capacity of each component. School age restrooms afford privacy for the children. There is a separate staff restroom (male and female) equipped with a total 3 sink, 5 toilets, and 1 urinal. The isolation area and bathroom for children who are ill will be the director\342\200\231s office and female staff restroom. Sleep logs and Needs and Services Plans for the toddlers ages 18-24 months will be kept in binder located in the classroom and Director was reminded that they have to be updated quarterly or more often if needed. Director is reminded that any changes to the facility must be reported to and approved by Community Care Licensing. Director stated the facility requires the parents to provide all meals (snacks and lunches), however the facility has extra snacks on site. The facility does not utilize a kitchen or food prep area. The facility currently has two fully fenced playground areas (one for the preschool children, and another one that is currently shared between preschool and school-aged children). LPAs mentioned to Director that all programs shall have their own separate fenced in play area. Director stated that she can fence off a separate toddler and school-aged playground which is located on the Preschool 1 Playground. A follow-up visit will need to be conducted to remeasure play areas once Director installs the fencing to separate the programs outdoors. Fencing of the entire playground is a mixture of chain link and vinyl, and was observed to be at least four feet high. Shade is provided via shade structures and shade sails. There are sufficient outdoor age-approproiate toys and play equipment available on the playgrounds that are currently in place. There is a play structure located on the Preschool 2 playground which has a sticker for ages 2-12, and the play structure located on what the Director will transition to become just the school-aged playground, has a sticker for ages 2-5 years old. Director stated that once she fences of a toddler outdoor play area, there shall be age appropriate play equipment in that area. There is adequate cushioning in fall zones of climbers provided by rubber cushioning. LPAs observed all hazardous items on the playground to be inaccessible to children. Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). Facility has had their water tested for lead on 1/31/23, and Director stated they use the same outlets, facility may submit a waiver request from the lead testing requirement to the Regional Office. Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over responsible for administration or direct supervision of staff, persons who provides care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, 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 for a maximum of 5-days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30-days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
