25 | On 2/18/21 at 10:00am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Jan Hoshida, conducted a case management inspection via FaceTime with Director, Shari Thompson. The purpose of this inspection was to provide technical assistance and ensure the facility is safe for the care and supervision of the children. Due to COVID-19 State of Emergency, a Licensed Child Care Program Waiver was granted on 2/12/21 to temporarily utilize the unlicensed classroom space (previously a Kindergarten classroom of the private school) to allow for smaller cohort groups and maintain social distance protocols. The facility will maintain their current licensed capacity of 24 preschool children. An approved temporary fire clearance for this facility is on file. During the tele-inspection, there were 17 preschool children supervised by 4 staff.
The preschool program operates from Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm. LPA virtually toured the unlicensed classroom which is directly next to the licensed preschool classroom. LPA observed age-appropriate furnishings, toys and materials. LPA observed 2 toilets and 2 sinks available for the children to use and a changing table within the unlicensed classroom. In addition, LPA toured the existing outdoor playground area with age-appropriate equipment. LPA observed an area at the entrance designated for sign in/out, temperature/health checks and COVID-19 information. Public health posters and the waiver were seen at entrance and throughout the facility. The facility provides morning and afternoon snacks. Children bring their own water bottles which can be refilled within the center.
LPA reminded the Director that all children are to be supervised at all times and should never be left alone. Staff conduct regular cleaning and sanitizing within the facility throughout the day. LPA reminded Director to store cleaning supplies out of reach of children. Staff were observed wearing face masks. Cohort guidance was discussed. A first aid kit is on site. An isolation area and the staff restroom will be used in case child feels ill.
