25 | On 8/8/24, at 11:15 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elvin Baddley conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection (Licensee Initiated) of the abovementioned Child Care Center (CCC) as the CCC is requesting permission to relocate to another room within the same property/elementary school. LPA note the CCC operates out of a classroom on the grounds of Hawthorne Elementary School. LPA met with Michelle Rolle, Administrator of the CCC, and explained nature and purpose of the inspection. LPA notes no children are present during today's inspection.
LPA, in the company of Administrator, toured the interior and exterior of the CCC, as well as the proposed relocation room. The proposed relocation room, Multipurpose Room, is also on the grounds of Hawthorne Elementary School. The CCC planned to relocate to Multipurpose Room for the fall of 2024 school year which is set to commence on 8/15/24.
LPA observed the Multipurpose Room to have three exits and accommodations to support child care services. The Multipurpose Room has running water just outside of the entry/exit doors, as well as an operable carbon monoxide detector. The Multipurpose Room has centralized air conditioning. Age appropriate furnishing and equipment are being moving into the Multipurpose Room for the CCC's existing location. The CCC will use the existing restrooms for children in care, which are just outside of the Multipurpose Room. The CCC will also use the existing outdoor play area. Administrator is reminded to ensure children in care are not accessing play structures which are not age appropriate.
The Multipurpose Room is larger in scale than the existing room used for child care services. As such, the Multipurpose Room is feasible to support child care service. The CCC is granted permission to relocation to Multipurpose Room at the commencement of the 2024 Fall school year (8/15/24).
No deficiencies have been cited during today's visit. A Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) and Appeal Rights (CONT. 809-C, Page 2) |
