LPA observed outdoor area and play structures are free from health and safety hazards. The outdoor area has a large yard with slides and structures and padded floors with shade. There are a variety of toys and sport equipment available for the children. There are also sheds/bins and storage areas for the toys when they're not being used. There are no pools or open bodies of water in the facility.
According to Heather, the facility has not done the water lead testing because the facility does not prepare food or use water from their faucets for ingestion. The facility uses water services through dispensers. LPA advised Heather to request for a waiver/exemption for the lead water testing of the facility.
According to the director, the facility is using paper sign in/out sheets. Facility has license and all other required documents posted and visible for the public. Facility has an emergency drill log and last drill was conducted on April 2023. Per Heather, drills are done at least every 6 months, rotating them between lock down/fire and earthquake drills. For napping/resting, the children have the opportunity to rest their bodies during story and circle time.
