Census: Zero. There were no children present when the inspection was conducted.

Director Kang guided LPA Bell on a tour of the entire child care center, as indicated on the Facility Sketches. The areas which are currently licensed for preschool (classrooms 1-5 and the playground), and the areas which are anticipated to be used for use by school-age children (classroom 6-9, the patio, the Garden Room and the Social Hall) were all inspected. The center will operate Monday-Friday from 07:30 a.m.-06:00 p.m. and will serve children ages 2-17, with a total capacity of 142. At no time will preschool children and school-age children comingle.

Check-in for the preschool children currently takes place outside of the gate which leads onto the preschool playground from the parking lot. Preschool children may arrive between 08:00-09:15 a.m. As there are two entrances into the preschool, children may sit on the bench tables, grouped by classroom, until they are escorted in to the building by class. The parents sign in on an electronic system called Brightwheel. Each parent has an individual code and then signs their signature with their finger on their own cell phone. Supplies are kept on a bench table near the gate. The child has their temperature taken with a no-touch thermometer; each child’s temperature is recorded on a log by the receiving staff. As every child is required to wear a mask, there are extra masks in case a child arrives without one. Additional supplies kept are for the staff: gloves, rubbing alcohol and cleaning rags to wipe the thermometer, a staff screening checklist, and disinfectant and cleaner in spray bottles for staff to clean toys the children bring and/or handles, etc. Each

By each entrance, there is a bathroom. Each bathroom contains three sinks and three toilets each. There are posters hung on each entrance door to remind children of social distancing, wearing face coverings and of the symptoms that they are ill (i.e. COVID-19-related posters).

The isolation area for ill children who are waiting for parents to pick them up is a tent set up in the Director’s office. Inside of the tent is a rocking chair, a trash can and two emergency lights. Blankets are stored nearby and a cot or mat would be brought in if the child needs to lay down. The restroom by the preschool entrance is the designated restroom for ill children.

There is a board posted next to the main preschool entrance on which is posted the snack menu as well as additional COVID-19-related posters. After the main office, there are five preschool classrooms along the hallway which leads to the other preschool entrance from the playground (both doors are facing each other, separated by the hallway.) The Parent Board on which the postings required by Licensing are posted is mounted outside of Classroom 1.

The ratio for each preschool classroom will be two staff assigned to up to 12 children (depending upon the size of the room, in order to ensure that social distancing can be maintained).

Classroom 1 is referred to as the Owls. Children ages 4 to transitional kindergarten are enrolled in this class. The children in this classroom generally attend 09:00-05:30. The classroom has a fire extinguisher mounted by the entryway and fire sprinklers. For ventilation, there is a ceiling fan and an air purifier. All electrical outlets are childproof. There is a refrigerator, microwave oven, and toaster oven in the room (they are currently not being used, as the Center is not heating up their snacks, but the Center-provided snacks may be stored in the refrigerator.) There is a child-size sink in the room. To maintain social distancing, children are assigned to a table, with two children at each table.

Check-in for the school-age children will take place on the parking lot. School-age children may arrive between 08:00-08:10 a.m. When children are dropped off by their parents, the Director is there to greet them and then the child is accompanied by a teacher to a cart which contains the same items as for the pre-school children (as itemized above.) Additionally, each school-age child will be asked to use hand sanitizer before they are accompanied up the stairs to the school-age classrooms. All of the school-age classrooms are located on the second floor of the building; there are stairs both indoors and outdoors, with a staircase at each end of the building.

Once upstairs, stickers with footprints are observed on the ground along the hallway because only one classroom at a time will be permitted in the hallway.

There are two restrooms by the indoor stairwell. The boys restroom has three sinks, three urinals, and two toilets. The girls restroom contains two sinks and four toilets.

For water, each classroom will have a water pitcher and children can either drink from individual, disposable cups or from their own water bottles with covers (like a sippy cup).

The Center will keep siblings together, which is why the ages of children enrolled in the class may overlap.
