25 | On 9/24/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Hanson Leong conducted an unannounced annual visit and met with the Licensee, Michelle Zoila Shaffer. LPA explained the purpose of the visit to the licensee.
Nine preschool-aged children and two adults (the licensee and the licensee’s assistant) were present during the visit. The two adults received criminal record clearance from the department. The licensee holds a large license and is within capacity limits and ratios for today’s visit.
LPA observed that all required documents, such as the facility license, the Notification of Parental Rights, and the Earthquake Preparedness Checklist, were displayed in a prominent, publicly accessible location.
The most recent emergency disaster drill was conducted on 7/30/2024, and the LPA observed that it was properly documented. LPA reviewed the emergency disaster drill log and found they were conducted at least once every six months.
Daycare areas: Kitchen, Playroom, Bedroom #3 (upstairs for napping only), hallway bathroom outdoor/indoor, and playground area.
Off-limits areas: The living room, Garage, and Bedrooms #1 and #2 are on the lower level of the home. The licensee understands that off-limits areas may not be used for childcare during business hours.
LPA conducted inspections of the indoor and outdoor daycare areas to identify health and safety hazards. The home has a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, and multiple carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. LPA found the home's interior clean and orderly, with proper heating and ventilation for safety and comfort. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, poisons, and other hazardous items were stored in areas inaccessible to children. Potty chairs and portable sinks are available for the children to use.
LPA observed that the daycare areas had age-appropriate toys, furniture, and educational materials. The fireplace was covered with a chalkboard. Electrical outlets were properly covered with child safety covers. A child safety gate was observed at the stairs. According to the licensee, no firearms or weapons are on the premises.
