25 | On 2/2/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Hanson Leong, made an unannounced annual visit to the Lucas Valley Children's Center. The LPA was granted entry by the Director, Gabriela Farias. The LPA explained the purpose of the visit to the director. All the individuals listed on the facility’s roster have been granted permission to work or be present in a childcare facility. During the visit, there were no children present in the facility.
LPA and the director both performed comprehensive inspections of the facility to look for possible threats to health and safety. The facility offers a first aid kit that is completely loaded with everything that is required for the treatment of wounds and other types of injuries. Toys, furnishings, and learning materials in all classes are age appropriate. The LPA observed that the playground equipment and outdoor furnishings are in very good shape. The LPA noted that there were no bodies of water present at the facility. All poisons, cleaning products, and other potentially harmful substances have been stored in a location that is inaccessible to children. The building is equipped with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers that are properly charged, centralized smoke alarms, and phones that are in working order.
The director has stated that the facility does not house any firearms or other types of weapons.
The LPA observed that the facility posted the required documents. (i.e., license, waivers, notification of parental rights, notification of personal rights, car seat law, emergency disaster plan, and daily activities).
Because there were no children present in the facility, files pertaining to the children were not reviewed.
The LPA reviewed the records of the director. All required forms were in the files of the director. A review of the training records of the director reveals that she is current with her CPR/First Aid certifications
According to the director, the facility satisfies the requirements by carrying out simulations of fire and earthquake drills twice a year, as well as by documenting their results.
