25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cortney Nelson, met with Site Supervisor, Leticia Gomez, and Child Development Coordinator, Maria Cortes for an unannounced Required- 1 Year Inspection. LPA was granted access to the facility by staff member, Leticia, and toured both indoors and outdoors during the inspection. Upon arrival, there were fourteen (14) infants and six (6) staff members present, which is compliant with the facility license capacity and ratio requirements. An additional two (2) infants arrived during today's inspection. LPA observed all required postings near the entrance to the facility and the hours of operation for the facility are Monday – Friday, 6:00AM-6:00PM.
LPA reviewed sign-in/out sheets, facility roster (LIC9040), and fire/disaster drill log and observed the last fire/disaster drill was conducted on 5/16/2023, which is compliant with the six-month requirement. The facility has a waiver for legal guardian signature and LPA observed that all guardians have full signature this season. There is a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher (last serviced: 5/2023), functioning smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector. Leticia states that she does not currently have any children in care who require Incidental Medical Services and does not administer medication at this time. There are no weapons or firearms on the premises.
Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see Evaluator Manual- Regulation Interpretations and Procedures for Child Care Centers, Section 101173 and 101226. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice)/ (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm
Indoor areas were inspected by the LPA and observed to be clean, orderly, and safe for day care infants. The infant room is physically separate from the preschool component in Room #2. Toys are safe and do not have sharp edges or small parts that may pose a choking hazard. The infant changing tables were observed to be padded, within arms reach of a sink, in good repair and safe condition. Cribs used by the infants are free from loose articles, covered with a fitted sheet, and there are no objects hanging above or attached to the crib. Cots are used for napping for infants that are already walking. The floors are clean and free of tripping hazards and waste containers have tight fitting lids. |
