Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stacey Williams met with Sokanha Bartholomy, Lead Teacher for the purpose of an unannounced annual random inspection. LPA observed (16) sixteen children supervised by 2 staff. Criminal record clearances are conducted through the school district.
Program hours are Monday through Friday 7:40AM-1:40PM. The program operates a full day program in portable C7 on the campus of Elmwood Elementary School. Program provides breakfast and lunch. LPA viewed the facility menu posted on the bulletin board in the classroom.
LPA toured the facility inside and out. All cleaning supplies and hazardous items are stored in a locked cabinet inaccessible to children. Outdoor activity space and equipment was in good repair. Bark is being used as cushioning around the climbing equipment and playground structure. Bark did not appear to be a sufficient level to absorb a fall. There are areas of the playground structure that have uneven bark which leaves dips in the corners of the perimeter of the structure. While touring the outdoor space, LPA observed a medium sized water drain pipe protruding from the ground of the grass play area. Lead teacher reported the area is surrounded by cones during classroom hours and a work order request has been submitted to repair the area. Drinking water was readily available. The classroom has a water fountain and water jug is utilized when the children are outside.
Restrooms were sanitary and in operating condition. Storage containers for solid waste had lids. Fire drills are conducted and documented. Carbon Monoxide and smoke detectors were present and operable.
LPA reviewed a random sample of children files during the inspection. LPA observed files included information pertaining to authorized representative, consent for medical treatment and a medical assessment form.
