LPA met with site director Brittney Grimshaw and advised her of the purpose for the inspection. Together with the site director, LPA toured the facility inside and outside. At the time of inspection there were no children in care. No bodies of water were observed at the time of inspection. The center submitted an application to add a toddler component to the infant license. The Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Department granted a fire clearance on 7/17/2023. The toddler room was observed to have sufficient age-appropriate toys and learning material. No hazards/toxins were observed to be accessible to the children in care. The toddlers will have access to 1 sink and 1 toilet in the room. The Toddler outdoor space has sufficient shade and ample amount of space.
