During this visit, LPA conducted interviews with members of the staff on an Unusual Incident Report that involved supervision. The LPA assessed that there were no problems with supervision based on the interviews that were conducted with the staff. The LPA observed staff monitoring children while they participated in activities outside. Additionally, the LPA saw a staff member accompanying a child to the bathroom the entire time they were there. In addition, the LPA found that the facility did not have any supervisory issues that needed to be addressed. The director handed over a statement that had been drafted to the LPA. The statement included signatures of all staff members and addressed the issue of supervision.

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 made the observation that the playground equipment and outdoor furnishings are in very good shape. The outdoor play structure is surrounded by wood chips, which can cushion any falls that may occur. 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

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).

The LPA reviewed the records of five children. All required forms were in the files of the five children.

The LPA reviewed the records of five staff members. All required forms were in the files of the five staff members. A review of the training records of the five staff members reveals that their CPR/First Aid certification are current, but they lack the required Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) sticker, which is required for approved CPR/First-aid providers. The director was informed by the LPA that the facility would be receiving a Type-B violation since none of the staff members have the required EMSA sticker on their CPR/First Aid certification.

The LPA has informed the director that a Plan of Correction would be provided for all Type-B violations. This Plan of Correction will enable the director to correct the violation.

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.

The director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

A copy of this report, the “Notice of Site Visit,”and their appeal rights were given to the SRS.

A Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 days.

Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.

An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with the SRS, Kelly Albrecht
