Routine inspection·January 29, 2026

On 01/29/2026, at 12:55 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Shane Loftus conducted an Annual/Random inspection of the above-mentioned Child Care Center (CCC). LPA met with Yvette Hazeltine, Assistant Director of the CCC, and explained the purpose of the inspection. LPA in the company of Assistant Director toured the interior and exterior of the CCC. The CCC is located on the grounds of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. The CCC uses four classrooms (Classrooms 5, 6, 7, and 8). LPA notes Licensee, Kenneth Harley, and Senior Director, Julie Chism arrived at approximately 1:30 PM. The CCC operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM until 6:00 AM during the summer hours, and 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM when school is in session. LPA notes zero (0) children were present upon arrival due to school being in session. LPA notes two (2) children were present along with three (3) staff members towards the end of the inspection. The classrooms at the CCC are clean and orderly. The classrooms have age-appropriate equipment and furnishings for children in care. LPA notes that sharps, cleaning supplies, and medications are in areas of the classrooms that are inaccessible to children in care. The bathrooms were found to be clean and free of toxins. The CCC has an operable carbon monoxide detector that was tested at 1:27 PM. LPA notes the CCC provides an afternoon snack and has a snack bar on site as an additional option. There is drinking water available for children at the CCC both inside and outside. Continued on 809-C Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1597.16. For child care center licenses issued after July 1, 2022, 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 (Interim Licensing Standards) outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP. LPA observed a menu and required licensing forms posted on a board near the entry to the CCC. The CCC uses the Brightwheel application for Sign In/Out. LPA verified the entries note the arrival and departure times of children in care. Because the CCC transports children, CCC staff sign the children in, and the parents/authorized guardians sign them out. LPA notes the most recent fire/emergency drill was documented on 01/23/2026. The outdoor play area is enclosed by chain linked fencing. The fence\342\200\231s entry and exit points are secure and furnishings in the area are age appropriate. The play equipment is free of sharp, loose or pointed objects. The outdoor play area has varied surfaces. The areas are made up of concrete and grass. There is shade available in the area in the form of trees. LPA notes there are seven sheds in the play area that contain dry food, refrigerated food, and CCC supplies. A sample of staff and children's records were reviewed. The children\342\200\231s records were complete and were found to contain emergency contact information, admission agreements, and other required licensing forms. Staff records were reviewed and contained current pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications (EMSA approved), Mandated Reporter Training certificates, and other required licensing documents. LPA confirmed that there are no bodies of water, firearms, or ammunition that are stored on site. Continued on 809-C LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with licensee [or facility representative] and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/chi ld-care-licensing/public-information-andresources/safe-sleep as an additional resource. LPA also informed licensee [or facility representative] of the importance of checking for and removing any recalled infant devices on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website at https://www.cpsc.gov/ and recommended they register all infant devices with the CPSC to be notified of any recalls on their purchased equipment. Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see PIN 22- 02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department.
