25 | On Wednesday, December 6, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tanya Washington met with Facility Representative, Nancy McColl for the purpose of an unannounced required annual inspection. LPA observed seven toddlers between the age of 18-36 months supervised by three staff in room #2 and seven infants supervised by four staff in room #1. All individuals subject to criminal background are cleared through Twin Rivers School district. Shortly after LPAs arrival, District Office Site Supervisor (DO), Reem Zidan arrived to the facility to assist LPA. The facility hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
LPA toured classroom spaces, restrooms, and outdoor play areas. LPA learned that recently the district added a separate infant playground which is designated for infants ages 6-23 months old. This area is separated by a fence and staff indicated that infants have exclusive use of that area from the toddler children since September, 2022. LPA did not observe any shade over the newly built play area or anywhere in the fenced perimeter of the newly added play area. LPA also observed a new play structure for the toddler children in the toddler playground. Both playgrounds have artificial grass installed to absorb a fall. Artificial grass is not one of the approved materials listed in the regulations and facility needs to submit a request for the material to be approved. LPA observed the following documents are posted: License, Parents' Rights Poster, menu, schedule, lead testing brochure, child personal rights, and seat belt law.
