25 | On 7/2/20 at 9:25am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loretta Dyson arrived at the facility for an announced prelicensing inspection. LPA met with Yanyi Ma, owner/Director. There was no one else present. An application was received for a new infant license, with a toddler option at this location. The facility also has a preschool component. The hours of operation will be Monday - Friday 8am - 5:30pm. The infant program, with toddler option, will be in classroom 4 which is divided by a shelf, as a partition to have a separate classroom space for the infants and toddlers. The classroom space for infants has an additional small enclosed play area attached. LPA completed a tour of the indoor and outdoor areas of the facility, which will be used for this component, to conduct a health and safety inspection. The measurements are as follows:
INDOORS: 627.50 square feet = 18 children
OUTDOORS: 14,026.77 square feet = 187 children
A fire clearance, dated 5/28/20, for a capacity of 120 children was received from the Alameda City Fire Department.
LPA observed that the classrooms have sufficient heating and ventilation for safety and comfort. The classroom floors and surfaces are clean and free of toxic substances. There is sufficient storage for children's belongings. The furniture, equipment, toys and activities are age appropriate and in good condition, and there is an ample supply available. There is a functioning water fountain on the playground and the facility will use water pitchers and cups to provide water indoors. The facility plans to have families bring lunch from home, and have snacks available in the morning and afternoon. There are 8 toilets and 7 sinks available for children, and they are all in sanitary and operational condition today. The owner was advised that bathroom stall doors either need to be removed or propped open so that staff can observe children in the bathroom. There is one changing table in classroom 4, and it is next to an operational sink. There are two potty seats available for children. There is a separate bathroom for staff. The office and staff bathroom will be used for the isolation of sick children. |
