25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Winnie Ly conducted an unannounced Required - 1 Year inspection and met with Site Director Joanne Haight. The purpose of the inspection was explained. There are 23 infants and 8 staff present today. Staff to child ratio is met today. The facility has fully charged fire extinguishers that meet the minimum requirements, smoke detectors, and a carbon monoxide (CO) detector. The center uses an electronic sign in/out system. To prevent the spread of COVID 19 virus, all infants were signed into the system by the classroom teachers.
There are no bodies of water on the premises. Per staff, there are no firearms or weapons at the center. All cleaning supplies and toxins were locked or inaccessible to the children. All solid waste storage bins are secured with tight fitting lids. There is a variety of age appropriate toys and materials, including cribs. Napping equipment used in the center meets regulation requirements.
LPA did not observe any baby walkers present in the center. Changing tables are within arms reach of a sink. Parents provide all diapers/milk/formula and food. All bottles were labeled with the child's name and date. Parents wash/sterilize the bottles at home at the end of each day.
