25 | On 6/12/23 at approximately 9:30am, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Saraliz Velando and Joelle Redding, met with Director, Vanessa Milroy, to conduct an unannounced annual inspection. There were 27 infants and 8 staff present today. Facility is within ratio and capacity.
LPAs toured the facility. The rooms were clean, orderly and comfortable with adequate heating and ventilation during this visit. All required forms were posted. The furniture, toys, and equipment are safe, age-appropriate and in good condition. There is variety of activities provided throughout the day. Infant foods/beverages are labeled/dated and stored per regulations in the infant room refrigerator. Infants bring their own food. Staff handling food are using proper personal hygiene practices. Food has been stored separately from any chemicals or cleaning products and food preparation sink is separate from diaper/changing and toilet/potty chair handwashing sink. Bottle warmers are used for heating bottles. Infant bedding/napping equipment is in good condition with standard cribs and mattresses of a water-resistant material and labeled with children’s names. Cribs are spaced adequately apart to meet regulations and are not blocking an entrance or an exit. Tight fitting crib sheets are in place, bedding is stored separately, and each child has their own. No infants share cribs. Soiled sheets are kept inaccessible to children. Infant changing tables have padded, washable vinyl at least one inch thick with sides raised at least 3 inches, per regulation and are within arm’s reach of a sink that is not used for food preparation. The sink and changing table are disinfected between each use. Hand washing and toileting areas are in a safe, sanitary, and good operating condition. All storage containers or trash cans containing solid or diaper waste have tight fitting lids and are in good condition.
Each infant is under direct visual observation and supervision by staff at all times. Sleep checks are conducted and documented every 15 minutes for all infants. |
