On 3/13/25, at 9:15 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Shane Loftus conducted an unannounced Annual/Random inspection of the Wishing Well School of the Central Coast. LPA met with Director Kimberly Wishon and Office Manager Teresa Beekman. LPA explained the nature and purpose of the inspection. LPA, in the company of the Director and Site Supervisor, toured the interior and exterior of the CCC. LPA observed 6 children as well as 2 teachers (cleared and associated) providing care and supervision. The CCC operates from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday - Friday. The CCC provides snacks for the children. Lunches are provided by the parents/guardians of children in care. At 9:30 AM, LPA notes the CCC does not have the Notification of Parents Rights posted in a prominent, publicly accessible place. The remaining required documents and forms are posted appropriately. LPA also reviewed the CCC's Sign In/Out forms which contained parent signatures of children in care. The classroom of the CCC is clean, orderly, and free of toxins. The classroom has age-appropriate furnishings available for children. At 9:40 AM, LPA notes the classroom does not have an operable carbon monoxide detector. The restrooms are in safe and sanitary operating condition. Sharps, cleaning supplies, and medications are stored in elevated cabinets, out of the reach of children in care. Waste receptacles with tight fitting covers were observed throughout the center. The CCC\342\200\231s outdoor playground areas have varied footing surfaces. The outdoor area is enclosed by a combination of wooden and chain linked fencing. LPA observed age-appropriate toys/play equipment in the play area. The play structures in the playground areas have adequate cushioning materials (i.e. wood chips) to absorb falls and shade in the form of trees and shade sails. No bodies of water were observed on site. Filtered water is available to children both inside the classroom and outside in the play area.
