Upon arrival, total census was 3 preschool children. The facility was operating within ratios. Facility hours are 9:00AM to 2:15PM, Monday through Friday. An on-site Facility Personnel Report Summary review showed that all facility staff or other individuals who require background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemption. The LPA conducted the visit to verify whether deficiencies related to buildings and grounds and personal rights had been corrected. During the previous visit on 3/18/24, the LPA observed the classroom was littered with animal fur. The floor and walls were darkened with dirt; dirt accumulated on walls and at the base of the windows. A dry liquid substance left dripping marks on the walls. There was a pungent ammonia-like smell in the classroom characteristic of cat or dog urine. A black cat and a chihuahua dog were observed roaming the classroom. During today's visit the LPA observed the floor and walls had been wiped clean; the accumulated dirt was removed and the darkened areas of the walls and windows cleaned. The dry liquid stains were also cleaned. The ammonia-like smell was not pungent anymore, but traces of it lingered in the classroom. The cat was still roaming the classroom and beds for pets were placed in two locations in the classroom. During the previous visit on 3/18/24, the LPA observed animal feces in the playground near the swings and near the monkey bars. The LPA observed clumps of dirt typical of buried cat feces. Flies were observed flying around the feces and the clumps of sand. Children were observed playing around the feces, including one child who was sitting on the sand near where feces were observed by the monkey bars.
