25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Ferrara met with Debra Brown, Administrator for the purpose of an unannounced random annual inspection. LPA toured the facility including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, and outdoor play area. Appropriate ratio and care and supervision were observed during today's inspection. Census included 55 preschool children supervised by nine staff. All staff present have a Criminal Record Clearance that is associated through the school district. The facility operates in four separate areas which include: Room 15, Room 26, Room B, and a media/library room located next to Room 15. The facility has four programs that operate at different times during the day, and there are children on site from 8 AM- 3:45 PM. Administrator was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license and LPA reviewed the Department's inspection authority. Administrator was advised to submit an updated Personnel Report (LIC500) with the most current information on staff.
Classrooms all appeared clean including the carpets and floor. Playground equipment and surfaces are free of loose or sharp parts. The areas around or under the climbing equipment are cushioned with enough material to absorb a fall and there is shade available. Uncontaminated drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises. LPA observed a functional carbon monoxide detector and smoke alarm in each classroom. All required licensing documentation was posted by the front door for parental review in each classroom. Toileting facilities are in safe, sanitary, and operating condition and there are enough sinks and toilets for the children in care with use of an outdoor restroom. LPA observed cleaning compounds were stored inaccessible to children in care.
At least one staff member present today has current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification that expires in March 2021. LPA observed a current children's roster and fire drill log with the last one conducted on May 13th, 2019. A sample of staff and children's records were reviewed. LPA observed that all staff had the required licensing documentation available and have completed Mandated Reporter training. LPA advised that this must be completed every two years. LPA observed that all children's files had the appropriate documentation present.
