25 | On 6/30/20 at 10:30am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loretta Dyson conducted a case management tele-inspection thru the Zoom application. A tele-inspection was done due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LPA met with Shannon Dillon, Director. There were no children present. The center was temporarily operating at 263 S. 20th Street Richmond, CA 94804, while renovations were completed at this location. An application with a request to relocate back to this site was received once renovations were completed. Ms. Dillon advised that they plan to reopen on 7/6/20. The infant component is one component of this combination center, which also has a preschool component. The infant component operates in classrooms 1 and 2, and children in this component have access two playgrounds (1 and 3). The hours of operation are from 7:00am - 5:30pm, Monday through Friday.
Ms. Dillon confirmed that there have been no changes made which affected the square footage of the classrooms or playgrounds, so the measurements completed on 9/15/09 will be used.
A health and safety inspection was conducted by LPA directing Ms. Dillon to focus the camera on items in each classroom, bathroom, playground and the kitchen. LPA observed that the classroom floors and surfaces were in good condition and clean. LPA observed the required postings in the office area and in each classroom. LPA observed 8 sinks and a changing table in each classroom, both within arms reach of a sink. LPA observed a sufficient amount of storage for children's belongings, and age appropriate toys, equipment and furniture for the requested capacity. LPA did not observe any hazardous items, toxins or bodies of water that would be accessible to children. LPA observed an ample supply of mats. Ms. Dillon confirmed that the center will provide each child with a blanket and sheet, and will clean them as well. The center has baby food on site, and snacks and lunch are prepared and delivered by Kidango. LPA observed that the playgrounds are fenced, free from defects, and equipped with activities and toys that are age appropriate. LPA observed that the play structures had a cushioning material underneath to absorb a fall. |
