25 | On October 10, 2023., Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van met with the lead teacher, Maria Martin, for an unannounced required annual inspection. The purpose of the inspection was explained. During the inspection, the new Site Director, Stephanie Kuyper arrived. This is an infant and toddler component Center that is licensed for a total capacity of 18, with no more than 12 toddlers and 6 infants. Today, there are 10 toddlers and 6 infants supervised by six staff and the Site Supervisor. The facility complies with the required teacher-infant ratios today. The hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 5:30 pm.
LPA evaluated the Center for Health and Safety Hazards along with the Director. The facility maintains a proper record of sign-in/out for infants, and all parent signatures match the number of infants present. The environment of the infants' classroom appeared clean and organized, with appropriate heating, lighting, and ventilation. The Center provides age-appropriate toys, furnishings, changing tables, and equipment. LPA did not observe any pools, spas, or any other bodies of water, nor did they notice any bouncers, exersaucers, or similar equipment at the facility. According to the Director, no firearms or weapons are present at the Center, and all cleaning materials and potentially hazardous objects are kept out of reach of children. Personnel restrooms are separate from children, and all solid waste storage containers have tightly fitted lids. The Center also maintains a carbon monoxide detector, centralized smoke alarm, fully equipped fire extinguisher, and First Aid kit. Designated cubbies are available for children to store their belongings.
