A Case Management visit was conducted on 3/2/22, by Licensing Program Analyst, Wisehart who met with Alyssa McCombs, Director for the Tehama County Department of Education\342\200\231s Early Childhood Programs. The site has been closed due to lack of enrollment however, the program is reopening on Monday 3/7/22. The licensee requests a waiver to allow 12 special education children from the Gerber Extensive Needs Preschool Program (an unlicensed program) to mainstream in the outdoor activity area with children from the Gerber State Preschool. The facility has also added a playground expansion to the outdoor playground. The LPA came to tour the facility and to measure to see if there was adequate outdoor play area to accommodate 12 special education children in addition to the maximum capacity of 24 for the licensed program. The area measured for 50 children therefore the playground can accommodate the requested 36 school children therefore the playground waiver was approved. The LPA also printed and reviewed PIN 22-07 Updates to the California Dept of Public Health Guidance. No title 22 deficiencies were issued during today's visit. A notice of Site Visit must be posted for 30 days .
