25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dean Thompson conducted a case management visit due to licensee’s request to change the facility’s status from inactive to active. According to licensing records, licensee has been on inactive status since October 17, 2022. LPA met with director Nancy Echeverria, who guided LPA on a tour of the facility. There were no children present during the visit.
A review of criminal record clearances indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.
During the inspection of the indoor activity space, LPA did not observe any items which could pose a danger to children (poisons, detergents, cleaning compounds, medications or hazardous items).
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. The cushioning material rubber mats commercially produced for the purpose around the climbing equipment, structures, slides and other similar equipment appeared to be enough to absorbs falls.
