Routine inspection·April 21, 2026

On 4/21/26, at 9:40 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an annual random inspection of the abovementioned Child Care Center (CCC). LPA met with Tamera Davis, Director of the CCC, and explained the purpose of the inspection. LPA toured the entirety of the the CCC (interior and exterior). The CCC uses one primary classroom, one toddler classroom, two bathrooms, and two outdoor play yards separated for primary and toddler students. The primary classroom and toddler classroom each have their own entrance (sign in/sign out area). On the primary classroom side, there is a staff bathroom and kitchen area, each of which are off limits for children in care. There is also a staff office in each building that is also inaccessible for children in care. The CCC operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM until 5:30 PM. From June to August every year, the CCC operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM until 4:30 PM. At the time of the inspection on the primary age side, LPA observed 22 children in care and 3 additional staff members. On the toddler side, LPA observed 11 children in care and 2 additional staff members (all staff members cleared and associated with the exception of one staff member; see LIC 809-D page). The classrooms of the CCC are clean and orderly. The classrooms have age-appropriate equipment and furnishings for children in care. The classrooms contain a number of closets and storage spaces all of which contain items, equipment, and other related objects for children in care. As mentioned prior, the primary classroom and and toddler side each have their own bathroom, both of which possess adequate numbers of toilets and sinks for children in care. The bathrooms were found to be clean, orderly, and rid of any hazardous items for children in care. Children enjoy morning and afternoon snacks provided by the CCC. Lunches are brought from home. Like snacks, filtered water is also provided by the CCC via a 5-gallon water dispenser. Children bring reusable water bottles from home, however, cups are also available on site for children in care. (CONT. LIC 809-C, Page 2) CCCs constructed before 1/1/20, are supposed to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before 1/1/23, and then every 5-years except after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after 7/1/22, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of licensure pursuant to Written Directives section 101700 (PIN 21-21.1-CCP). The CCC does not use the buildings water for food preparation or drinking and has a waiver in place that states as such. LPA observed daily routine schedules, required notices, and other relevant licensing documents posted prominently in each of the classrooms. At the CCC, children's sign in and sign out sheets are completed on paper and through the Brightwheel application as well. LPA found that the CCC completed their most recent disaster drill on 11/26/25. Director informed LPA that the CCC conducts disaster drills every six months. In the primary classroom, a carbon monoxide detector was tested at 10:17 AM and in the toddler classroom the detector was tested at 10:33 AM and each were found to be operational. The CCC's smoke detectors were not tested by the LPA as the CCC's smoke detectors are integrated in the building's fire detection systems. LPA was informed that the fire detection system was recently tested by the Paso Robles Fire Department on 2/3/26. Cleaning supplies are stored on an elevated shelf in the kitchen and in elevated class spaces. In the primary classroom, the majority of cleaning supplies are stored on an elevated closet shelf. Sharps are stored in elevated shelves in the staff kitchen. No medication is currently on site as no children have the need for medication. However, if medication was needed by children it would be stored on top of the refrigerator in the kitchen. LPA viewed a First Aid Kit in the CCC. The First Aid Kit was observed to contain appropriate supplies. As mentioned prior, the CCC has access to an outdoor play yard and is segmented for primary and toddler sides. The outside playground areas are enclosed by secure wooden fencing throughout. The fence’s entry and exit gates in the yard are secure and furnishings in the area are age appropriate. The play equipment is free of sharp, loose, or pointed objects. The play structures in the outdoor playground areas have adequate cushioning to absorb falls (rubber mulch). The surface of the outdoor playground area is varied. The areas are made up of both concrete pavement, artificial turf, rubber mulch, and dirt. Shade is provided by various sun sails, neighboring trees, and buildings themselves. On the primary age side of the yard, LPA observed a sizable play structure and a large shed. In the locked shed, LPA observed childcare equipment and other yard work equipment. In the toddler side of the yard, LPA observed a couple of water tables. LPA reminded the Director of safe practices when it comes to water table usage. Facility Representative attested to LPA that children are always supervised while outside and that the outdoor area is inspected prior to letting children outside. A sampling of staff and children's records were reviewed. The children’s records were complete and were (CONT. 809-C, Page 3) found to contain emergency contact information as well admission agreements, among other relevant licensing documents and forms. Staff records were reviewed and contained current pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications (EMSA approved) and Mandated Reporter Training certificates among other relevant licensing documents. LPA confirmed that there are no bodies of water, firearms, or ammunition that are on site. LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with Director and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. On the toddler side, the staff does check and document napping children 24 months and under every 15 minutes. This facility does not currently provide Incidental Medical Services – IMS. For IMS information see PIN 22-02-CCP.
