25 | On 10/3/19 at 09:50am, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Wynn Norona and Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loretta Dyson arrived at the center for an announced prelicensing inspection. LPA and LPM met with Sharon Chu, who will be the center director. The center will operate Monday thru Friday 7:30am-6:15pm. LPAs toured classrooms 1, 2, 3 and 4, bathrooms, kitchen, and playground to conduct a health and safety inspection. The measurements are as follows:
INDOOR: 2,491.1 square feet= 71 children
OUTDOOR: 2,574.5 square feet= 34 children
An outdoor waiver request was submitted to allow 35 children on the playground at one time, but the outdoor measurements will allow for a total of 34 children on the playground at one time.
LPA and LPM observed that the classroom floors, surfaces, and equipment are safe, clean and appeared to be toxic free. The classroom lighting, heating and ventilation is sufficient for the safety and comfort of children and staff. There is an ample supply of age appropriate toys, activities, furniture and storage, which are in good condition. LPAs did not observe any bodies of water, hazardous items or toxins that will be accessible to children. There is drinking water available indoors, and the center will take water on the playground or allow children to come inside to use the water fountain when outdoors. The toilets and sinks are in sanitary and operational condition. There are two separate bathrooms for staff. The playground is fenced and free from defects or dangerous conditions. The play structure is anchored and secure, and has sufficient cushioning underneath to absorb a fall. The center is equipped with a centralized fire alarm system, working carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and working telephone. The kitchen is clean and cleaning supplies and food are stored properly and separate. continued on 809C |
