25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Ferrara met with Program Coordinator Colleen Braunbeck for the purpose of an unannounced random annual inspection. The program operates on the El Dorado County Office of Education campus and is a Title5/State Preschool and Title 22/Head Start currently operating in classrooms: M2, M3, M7, and M8. All staff receive fingerprint clearance on site. Appropriate ratio and care and supervision were observed during today's inspection. Census included 48 preschool children being supervised by 10 staff. Coordinator was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license. The program operates Monday through Friday 8 AM-4 PM with a morning and afternoon program.
LPA toured each classroom, restroom, and outdoor play area. The program provides lunch and an AM and PM snack and the menu was posted. Other Licensing documentation was posted including Parents Rights, Personal Rights, Carseat laws, Emergency Disaster Plan, and Activities Calendar. The classrooms appeared clean including carpets and floor and were in good repair. The playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are safe. The areas around or under the climbing equipment are cushioned with enough resilient material to absorb a fall and there is adequate shade. Uncontaminated drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. Bathrooms were clean and all sinks and toilets were in operating condition. Each classroom has a functional smoke and carbon monoxide detector. LPA observed a cubby available for each child and a binder for the parents to sign their children in and out of the facility. Chemical cleaning products were stored inaccessible to children.
A sample of children and staff files were reviewed. All children's files contained Personal and Parents Rights signed, Immunization record, and all other required information was provided on their own specific forms. Staff files contained the required documentation and each staff has completed the Mandated Reporter training through Works International. At least one staff present today has current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification that expires in April 2021. LPA observed a current children's roster and a fire drill was conducted on November 15th, 2019
