The outdoor activity space was inspected for compliance. The playground was enclosed by a fence at least four feet in height. The surface of the outdoor activity space was well maintained and free of hazards. All areas around or under high climbing equipment, slides, and similar equipment are cushioned with material (wood chips) that absorbs a fall. There is adequate shade in the play yard. Drinking water in the outdoor activity space is provided by sports bottles with the child’s name labeled on it. The outdoor equipment and toys were in good repair and free of sharp edges. There are no bodies of water present at the facility. The facility grounds were safe, sanitary and in good repair.
Staff files were reviewed for staff present during the facility inspection on this date, 3 out of 3 staff files were reviewed. Health screening and immunizations as required were reviewed. Beginning September 1, 2016, Health and Safety (H&S) 1596.7995 states, a person shall not be employed or volunteer at a day care center if he or she has not been immunized against influenza, pertussis, and measles. Proof of immunization against pertussis, measles, and Influenza for the Director and staff were reviewed and within compliance. Beginning March 31, 2018, H&S Code 1596.8662 requires all licensed child care providers, administrators, or employees of a licensed child day care facility to complete the mandated reporter training, and to renew the training every two years. At least one staff member present possesses current EMSA approved Pediatric CPR/First Aid certifications, which expire on 8/2023. Records and files were reviewed using KIT 1.
Children's records were reviewed, and there was a separate, complete and current record for each child. A random sample of (10) children's files were reviewed for documentation of the child’s name, address, and telephone number of the child’s authorized representative and of relatives or others that can assume responsibility for the child if the authorized representative cannot be reached when necessary and a medical assessment. KIT 1 was used to review files. In the areas reviewed the children’s files were found to be in full compliance. Sign in/out procedure were reviewed for compliance. The person who signs the child in and out uses their full legal signature and records the time of the day. All children present were observed to be signed in.
