25 | On 1/21/20 at 9:20am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loretta Dyson arrived at the center for an unannounced 1 year required inspection. LPA met with Sandy Fong and Rita Tang, both Administrative Directors. There were 7 infants and 3 additional staff also present. The infant program is one component of this combination center which also has a preschool program with a toddler option. The program operates Monday thru Friday 8am to 6pm, in 1 classroom. An application was received in the Licensing office requesting an increase of capacity, and to change the classrooms that the program uses.
LPA conducted a tour of the areas of the center that the infant program currently uses, and will use in the future, to conduct a health and safety inspection. These areas include classrooms listed as ND1 and ND2, the bathroom between these classrooms, the kitchen and the playground. The measurements are as follows:
INDOORS: 1075.91 square feet = 31 children
OUTDOORS: 9634.39 square feet = 128 children
A fire clearance was received from Alameda County Fire Prevention, on 12/12/19, for a total capacity of 85 children. This capacity includes 24 infants, 31 preschoolers and 30 toddlers.
LPA observed that the classroom floors, surfaces and equipment are clean, free from hazards, and free from toxic substances. LPA observed that the heating, lighting and ventilation is sufficient for the safety and comfort of children and staff. The napping areas are separate from the activity space. The activities, equipment and storage are age appropriate and sufficient for the number of children in care. The changing table was clean and within arms reach of a sink. There are 4 sinks available, which are in sanitary and operational condition. The bottles and food brought from home are labeled and stored appropriately. LPA did not observe any bodies of water, disinfectants, cleaning solutions or medications accessible to children today. |
