32 | The facility presently has an outdoor waiver granted by the Department. The waiver allows no more than 19 preschool children at the time, and the rotational schedules are required. The outdoor play area is maintained clean and free of debris. The outdoor play area is completely fenced, clean, and in good repair. LPA reminded the Director that the staff must ensure the playground is cleared of debris or harmful material before use. An updated outdoor waiver will be reassessed with the management, and the new waiver will be sent out to reflect the current License capacity.
During the inspection, LPA reviewed records of children and personnel. The records for each child were found to be complete, including their names, addresses, and authorized representative telephone numbers. Each child's file also contains information about their immunization record, medical assessment, and admission agreement. Staff members' records showed that all individuals requiring caregiver background checks had undergone criminal records and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Furthermore, several staff members possess valid CPR certificates, and all staff maintain up-to-date Mandated Reporter training. LPA reviewed the educational qualifications of the staff members and confirmed that everyone had completed the required ECE units. The Center conducted its fire and earthquake drills monthly, with the most recent drill on December 13, 2023.
The facility had posted the required forms. (i.e., License, Notification of Parent's Rights, Notification of Personal Rights, Car Seat Law, Emergency Disaster Plan, and Daily activities). The director stated that children bring snacks and lunch. Per the Director, the children bring their water bottles from home, or the facility refills them if needed for children indoors and outdoors. All storage containers for solid waste within the Center have a proper tight-fitting cover.
