25 | An unannounced Random/Annual inspection was conducted at the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nguyen. The facility file was reviewed prior to this visit. A review of the personnel report on file indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Operating hours are 7:00am to 6:00pm, Mon-Fri. Upon arrival LPA met with the Owner, Mehta Parina & Assistant Director, Caldwell Julie. The facility was toured inside and outside and the floor and yard plan were verified. LPA observed 33 infant children with 10 staff members. During the inspection it was determined the facility is operating within its licensed capacity and within compliance of staffing ratios.
Activity space for infants is separate from other age groups. The items which could pose a danger to children (detergents, cleaning compounds, and medications) were inaccessible to children. Poisons/hazardous items are locked in the kitchen. The toys, floors and other equipment appeared clean, safe and age appropriate for infants. A baby walker is not allowed on the premises of a child care center. There is sufficient napping equipment. The changing table is within arm’s reach of a sink and appears clean and sanitary. A current menu was posted. Food prep areas appear clean and sanitary. The facility takes measures to keep the facility free of flies, other inspects, and rodents. Food is properly stored. Bottles and food containers brought from home are properly labeled with name and date. Garbage cans containing solid waste have tight fitting lids. Firearms and other weapons are not allowed or stored on the premises. There is a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher in the facility.
The assistant director stated no children are left without the supervision, including visual supervision, of a teacher at any time. The facility ensures that each infant is never left unattended. The playground is completely fenced and free of hazards. The playground equipment appeared in safe condition. There is sufficient foam cushioning underneath climbing structures and/or play equipment to absorb falls. (Continued on Page 2) |
