Furniture and equipment were inspected for age appropriateness and good repair. Telephone service, heating, lighting and ventilation were evaluated. LPA observed napping equipment (cots) and cubbies inside each classroom. Per Director, the isolation area is in the office or staff lounge. In the office or staff lounge, a cot can be placed on the floor for an ill child and the staff restroom is readily available if an ill child requires it.

Per building management for Burns Community Center, the carbon monoxide detector is in combination with the wired smoke detectors inside the building. The carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector were not tested due to being wired to the emergency pull down system. The fire extinguishers are fully charged and were last serviced on July 11, 2022. The facility has verification of disaster and fire drills available for review. However, the last drill was conducted on October 8, 2021.

Outdoor playground equipment is in a safe condition, free of sharp, lose 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, slides, and similar equipment are cushioned with sand that could absorb a fall. Per Director, the sand is inspected daily prior to use. LPA observed adequate shade in the outdoor play yard. No bodies of water was observed on the premises.

All individuals present have obtained a criminal record clearance or criminal record exemption.
