The fire extinguisher (2A10BC) had a service tag attached indicating it was last serviced on 10/19/2018. Trash cans with tight lids were observed. There was no kitchen area on the premises as all meals and snacks are brought from home, however LPA did observe a refrigerator and microwave inside of classroom three. Per the Director, there are currently no children enrolled with allergies.
The outdoor play area was inspected and observed to be free of hazards, loose, or sharp objects. Equipment was inspected for safety, cushioning material, conditions and age appropriateness. Climbing structures, slides, and play equipment were found to be securely anchored with resilient cushioning material underneath and around the perimeter. Children have access to water through water fountains and personal water cups during outdoor activities. The playground was fenced all around, and no bodies of water were observed in the outdoor play area. The playground area had a shaded rest area for the children. The facility divides their playground into four separate sections, the train, bike, sandbox, and grass yard.
Children and staff files were reviewed and found to be complete. The facility roster and fire drills were up to date, and all staff have been fingerprinted and associated to the facility. The facility Director has a current CPR and Pediatric First Aid certification, which expires on 4/27/2021. During the inspection LPA observed adequate teacher child ratio inside of the classroom. The parent board was reviewed and had all of the required forms posted and accessible to parents.
