25 | On Thursday, June 2nd, 2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Ferrara met with Facility Representative Chris Padilla for an unannounced annual inspection. At 11:40 AM, LPA toured the facility including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service and outdoor play areas. Census included six infant children in care with two staff. Facility Representative was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license. Facility hours of operation are Monday through Friday 6:30 AM to 6 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.
LPA observed that each child had a Needs and Services plan, however five out of six were not current. LPA observed an Infant Sleeping Plan (LIC9227) for each child under 12 months of age. LPA observed documentation that sleep checks were being conducted by staff every 15 minutes for all children under two. Bottles and baby food were kept in a refrigerator inside the classroom and were properly labeled with the child's name and date. All furnishings were in good condition. Staff stated that the bedding is changed daily. Infant diaper changing area is clean and within arm's reach of a sink. There is a one inch thick mat for the changing table with a vinyl surface. Toys are appropriate size with no small parts for the safety of the infants.
The infant classrooms 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. There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises and the facility has at least one functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector. LPA observed the appropriate postings were visible to parents. |
