25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Kelly Ferrara and Salene Mayberry met with Facility Representative Shawn Edwinson for an unannounced annual inspection on Thursday, March 3rd, 2022. At 9:15 AM, LPAs toured the facility including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, and outdoor play areas. Census included 26 children in care with three staff and four parent volunteers. Facility Representative was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license. Facility hours of operation are Tuesday through Thursday from 8:30 AM - 2:15 PM. Facility Representative was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
Classrooms all appeared clean including the carpets and floor. Chemicals and cleaning materials were kept inaccessible to children. Playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are in good condition with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall. Uncontaminated drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. Bathrooms were clean and all sinks and toilets were in operating condition. There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises and the facility has at least one functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector. Parents provide snacks for all of the children and each child brings their own lunch from home.
At 10:30 AM, staff and parent volunteer files were reviewed. LPAs reviewed staff transcripts and observed all staff being utilized as teachers were qualified. LPAs observed that two out of four staff did not have a current Mandated Reporter certificate. LPAs did not observe proof of immunizations for three out of eight staff and parent volunteers present. At least one staff had a current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification that expires March 2022. Staff are currently enrolled to update the certificate. LPAs observed the sample of children’s files contained the appropriate documents. |
