LPAs addressed the laminating machine to the Head Teacher and the Principal during the inspection since the laminating machine requires that it be turned on for several minutes to heat up prior to laminating. In addition, LPAs observed that the laminating machine is stored on top of a broken plastic cart. Since the machine was not on during the time of the inspection, LPAs advised the Principal that this poses a potential health and safety risk to children in care, however, when it is on it poses an immediate health and safety risk to the children in care.

LPAs also advised the Head Teacher and the Principal to lower the stacking of the chairs in Room 5. LPAs observed that chairs were being stacked in bundles of 5 and 6 which exceeded the height of the children present in the classroom. LPAs observed that there are electrical outlet covers missing in Rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, in the front hallway, and in the restrooms. LPAs advised the Principal that the electrical outlets should be covered.

Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, medication and other items that are dangerous to children, were inaccessible to children. LPAs did observe an aroma spray bottle under the unlocked sink in Room 3. LPAs advised the Head Teacher that although the spray is for fragrance purposes there is a Caution label on the spray bottle that reads: Keep out of reach of children. Per Principal, there are no poisons stored at the facility. This facility does not have a carbon monoxide detector. Per Principal, the district has not provided the facility with any carbon monoxide detectors.

All kitchen areas/food preparation areas and food storage areas are kept clean and are free of litter, rubbish, rodents, and/or any other vermin. Trash cans used to discard food have tight fitting lids and solid waste bags were observed to be discarded immediately after a meal.

LPAs observed that one of the carpets is standing up against the wall and could tilt over and hit a child (pictures were taken). Per Principal, the school district has been notified to have the items removed from the facility, however, the Principal was unable to provide LPAs with any documents to reflect that the order has been placed. All areas around or under high climbing equipment, slides, and similar equipment are cushioned with material that absorbs a fall. There is adequate shade in the play yard.
