The Fire extinguisher is behind a locked emergency glass door but the service tag was turned backwards. LPA was unable to observe the service date. Per State Fire Marshall standards, fire extinguishers shall be serviced annually. There is restroom inside the classroom that has two toilets and sink available for children in care to use. All toilets, hand washing, and bathing facilities are safe, sanitary and are operating properly. Food is provided from the kitchen of the elementary school.

OUTDOORS: At 9:30am, LPA reviewed the outdoor play area. Outdoor playground equipment is in safe condition, free of sharp, loose or pointed parts. The surface of the outdoor activity space is maintained in a safe condition and is free of hazards. All areas around or under high climbing equipment, swings, slides, and similar equipment are cushioned with material that absorbs a fall. There is one outside play space that is directly accessible from the classroom back door. There are swings, playhouses, grass, and age appropriate play equipment available. The play area is physically separated from the rest of the elementary school campus. Drinking water is readily available outdoors.
FACILITY RECORDS: Digital sign in and out sheets were reviewed to ensure that the person who signs the child in and out uses their full legal signature and records the time of the day. Staff files were unable to be reviewed at the time of inspection.
