All areas identified on the Facility Sketch were inspected. At the time of the inspection, one (1) teacher and 2 teacher assistants with 13 preschoolers were present. Teacher and child ratio were observed, and staff names were recorded. Care and supervision were evaluated to determine if the basic needs of children are met appropriately.

LPAs observed an approved waiver posted near the license for outdoor play and restroom use. Furniture and equipment were inspected for age appropriateness and good repair. Telephone service, heating, lighting and ventilation were evaluated. Napping is not provided due to the program operating at 3-hour increments. Storage for children’s belongings and an isolation area were inspected for availability and good repair. Availability of indoor drinking water was observed.

The facility has a school nurse on site, once a week. Per the Lead Teacher, office staff attend to the children when the school nurse is not available. First aid supplies were inventoried. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions and other items that are dangerous to children were inaccessible to children. The Los Angeles School District provides daily breakfast and lunch. Menus were reviewed for appropriateness to children in care.

LPAs reviewed 3 children’s records for completeness. LPAs did not review staff records during the inspection due to the staff records being stored at the administrative office. LPA Ayala will review staff records on a later date. There is at least one person trained in Pediatric First Aid/CPR that was present during today’s inspection.

The children’s roster was reviewed and is current. Sign-in and sign-out sheets were reviewed. The disaster drill log was available, and is conducted on a monthly basis.
