25 | On September 10, 2021, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Melissa Domantay and Melissa Guirit and Manager Diane Perez arrived at the center for an unannounced random inspection. LPAs met with the director, Harisdelsy H. Cardenas. There were 42 preschoolers and 7 toddlers, and 7 staff members also present. The facility's operating hours are from 6:45 AM to 6:00 PM. There are Covid-19 postings by front doors of facility. Facility utilizes an electronic sign in and out method.
LPAs completed an inspection of the areas used by the preschool and toddler program, to conduct a health and safety inspection. The outdoor area is fully fenced and there are trees and overhangs to provide shade. The outdoor area has two play yards, one toddler play yard and one preschool play yard. LPAs did not observe any defects or dangerous conditions in any of the areas. The play structures are secure and there is sufficient cushioning underneath to absorb a fall. There is a sufficient amount of toys and activities outdoors, which are appropriate and in good condition.
LPAs did not observe any bodies of water, hazardous items, toxins or medication that will be accessible to children. The center has fully stocked first aid kits, functioning telephone, fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguishers, pull down fire alarms, and a centralized smoke detection system.
Heating, lighting and ventilation in each area was sufficient for the safety and comfort of children and staff. LPAs observed that all of the classroom floors, surfaces, furniture and equipment are clean, in good condition and safe. The furniture, equipment, toys and activities are age appropriate and there is an ample supply available for the number of children in care. There is a sufficient amount of storage space for children's belongings. All disinfectants, cleaning solutions and medications are stored in areas that are inaccessible to children.
