25 | On 9/4/20 at 3pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Loretta Dyson conducted a prelicensing tele-inspection thru the FaceTime application. A tele-inspection was done due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LPA met with the owner, Bala Subbiah, and the director, Sandy McCracken. There was a total of 49 preschool and school age children present, and 7 additional staff members. An application was received for a change of ownership of this center. This is the school age component of this combination center. The other component is a preschool. The school age component operates after school, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 2:30-6pm and Wednesday 12:30-6pm in one classroom. During school closures and holidays the school age children will be present all day, 7am-6pm, and the part-time preschool classrooms will not be open. A virtual tour of classrooms, bathrooms and outdoor play areas was completed to conduct a health and safety inspection. The owner confirmed that there have been no changes to the layout, which would affect the square footage, of any of the areas. The previous measurements, completed on 9/18/13, will be used and are as follows:
INDOORS: 634.97 square feet= 18 children
OUTDOORS: 14,518.38 square feet= 193 children
A fire clearance, with a total capacity of 60 including 45 preschoolers and 15 school age children, was received from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection Department on 6/18/20.
The inspection was conducted with LPA directing Mr. Subbiah to focus the camera around each space. LPA observed that the classroom had sufficient lighting and the floors and surfaces were in good condition and clean. LPA observed 1 toilet and 1 sink available for children, and a separate staff bathroom. LPA observed a sufficient amount of age appropriate activities, equipment and furniture. LPA did not observe any hazardous items, toxins or bodies of water that would be accessible to children. LPA observed a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher, pull down fire alarm, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, working telephone and first aid supplies. |
