On March 5, 2026, at 12:35 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elimika Woods conducted an unannounced Annual Random Inspection and met with Site Director Lourdes Nanevicz. LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection, and the facility was toured both inside and outside to conduct a health and safety inspection. There were 37 school-age children present during this inspection and four staff members. The center is located on the campus of Oak Elementary School and operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM for before-school care and from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM for after-school care. LPA reviewed facility records and verified that all individuals subject to criminal record review have received a clearance or exemption and are associated with the facility. LPA conducted a census of the children, and the census matched the 37 electronic signatures signed in on the facility\342\200\231s electronic system. At approximately 1:00 PM, LPA reviewed six (6) children\342\200\231s files and three (3) staff files. All staff files contained the required Health Screening and Employee Rights forms. All children\342\200\231s files contained Personal Rights, Medical Consent forms, and Identification and Emergency Information forms. At least one opening and closing staff member has a current CPR and First Aid certification. The large classroom was inspected at approximately 12:40 PM, and staff-to-child ratios were in compliance with licensing regulations. There are adequate play and learning materials available. The room temperature was adequate for children in care, and the floors were observed to be clean and well maintained. The furniture was appropriately sized for school-age children, and individual storage space was available for each child in care. The designated isolation area for sick children is located next to the director\342\200\231s desk, away from other children in care. LPA tested the center\342\200\231s smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector and found them to be functioning properly. The center has a working telephone, a pull-down fire alarm system, and multiple fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguishers located throughout the center, which meet the standards established by the State Fire Marshal. Disaster drills are conducted at least once every six months, with the last drill conducted on 02/10/2026. All required documents are posted in a publicly accessible area. See 809-C. This facility provides snacks for the children, and weekly menus are posted at the facility. LPA observed the area where the refrigerator is located and found the area to be clean and free of evidence of rodents. Food is protected from contamination and, per staff, any contaminated food is discarded immediately. LPA reminded the director that all persons engaged in food preparation and service shall observe proper personal hygiene and food service sanitation practices to protect food from contamination. All storage containers for solid waste have tight-fitting covers and are in good repair. The center uses the elementary school\342\200\231s playground for outdoor play.

Trees provide shade and protection from harmful sunlight during outdoor play. The children brings their water bottle to the playground for outdoor play. The play equipment is age-appropriate and in good repair.. LPA\342\200\231s Observation During Inspection: At approximately 1:30 PM, the children began arriving at the facility and signing into the electronic sign-in system. One staff member was responsible for the sign-in tablet while other staff members assisted the children as they arrived. One group of children sat on the rug during circle time while staff reviewed the day\342\200\231s activities. Some children sat at multiple tables with homework, books, or activity sheets and began working. Staff were positioned throughout the classroom, and some monitored the bathrooms as children came and went. The children\342\200\231s voices were calm, and no children were yelling. Staff engaged with the children and answered their questions about the presence of licensing staff at the facility. LPA inspected the staff bathroom at approximately 1:25 PM and was informed by the representative that it is separate from the children\342\200\231s bathroom. LPA observed that one of the bathrooms contains a stall marked for staff use only. Per staff, this stall is used only when no children are present in the bathroom. LPA verified that the toilets were operating properly by flushing them to ensure they were in safe working condition. The center has an adequate supply of soap, toilet tissue, and paper towels available for children in care.
