Routine inspection·May 19, 2026

On 5/19/26, at 9:20 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Matthew Sapien conducted an unannounced random inspection of the abovementioned Child Care Center (CCC). LPA met with Fatmeh Elmasri, Site Supervisor of the CCC, and explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. The LPA, in the company of the Facility Representative, toured the interior and exterior of the CCC. The CCC utilizes 1 classroom (Building 103), one bathroom, and an outdoor play area. The remainder of the building (staff bathroom and smaller kitchen area) are excluded from childcare services. The CCC’s hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM until 11:30 AM. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed a total of 11 children in care and one additional staff member (cleared and associated). The classroom of the CCC was found to be clean and orderly. The classroom has age-appropriate equipment and furnishings for children in care. The classroom contains various closets and storage spaces all of which contain items, equipment, and other related objects for children in care. The bathroom utilized at the CCC contained an adequate numbers of toilets (2) and sinks (1) for children in care. The bathroom was found to be clean, orderly, and rid of any hazardous items for children in care. As aforementioned, the CCC possesses a staff only bathroom and smaller kitchen area. The kitchen contains an operational refrigerator which contains some food items for staff and children in care. This area, again, is off limits for children, however, children pass through this area given the size and set up of the classroom. Children enjoy an AM snack, while children enjoy lunches at home given the program's operational hours. Filtered water is provided by the CCC via a filtered water pitcher. Children bring reusable water bottles from home to drink with. 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 (CONT. LIC 809-C, Page 2) 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). LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP. LPA observed daily routine schedules, required notices, and other relevant licensing documents posted prominently at the entry way of the classroom. At the CCC, children's sign in and sign out sheets are completed on paper. LPA found that the CCC completed their most recent disaster drill on 5/14/26. Facility Representative informed LPA that disaster drills are conducted every month. In the classroom, a carbon monoxide detector was tested at 9:55 AM and was found to be operational. The CCC's smoke detectors were not tested by the LPA as the CCC's smoke detectors are integrated into the building's fire detection systems. Cleaning supplies are stored beneath the kitchen sink in a locked cabinet and in elevated spaces throughout the classroom. Sharps are stored in an elevated kitchen cabinet, out of reach of children in care. There are no medications stored on site as no children currently require medication. LPA viewed a First Aid Kit in the CCC. As mentioned prior, the CCC has access to a large outdoor play yard. The outside playground area is enclosed by secure chain linked 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 foam). The surface of the outdoor playground area is varied. The area is made up of both wood, concrete pavement, rubber foam, sand, and natural grass. Shade is provided by building overhangs, sun sails, and trees throughout the yard. LPA observed four sheds in the yard, all of which were locked. Facility Representative informed LPA that play equipment and cleaning supplies are stored in the sheds. 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 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 observed no bodies of water, firearms, or ammunition on site and confirmed that this was the case with the Facility Representative.
