25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeremey McClain met with Director Jande Beitpolous for an unannounced annual random inspection. LPA observed 15 preschool children supervised by two teachers.
LPA toured all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service, and outdoor play areas. The Director stated that no children in care currently require medications. Toxic and hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Furniture and equipment are in good condition. Playground equipment and surfaces are free of loose or sharp parts. The areas around or under climbing equipment are cushioned with bark to absorb the fall. Toileting facilities are in safe, sanitary and operating condition. The floors appeared clean throughout the facility. The program provides an optional lunch for children. Parents also provide lunches and snacks. Menus were posted and drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. LPA observed full legal signatures while reviewing the sign in and sign out sheet.
Staff and children's records were reviewed. Each child's file contained an emergency card and a medical assessment. At least one staff member present today has current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification which expire 10/2020. All staff currently employed with the facility have: a criminal record clearance, a health screening report, AB1207 Mandated Reporter Training, and documentation of their educational background, training, and/or experience. There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises. LPA observed a functional carbon monoxide detector.
