25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Van met with Director Lisa Kiesselbach on May 26, 2022, for an unannounced mandatory 1-year random inspection. The facility is an infant program, serving infants from 3 – 24 months. Today, four teachers, including the Director, supervised six infants. Today's staff-to-infant ratios are met at the facility. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 6:00 am to 7:00 pm. The program is operated on a large open floor, partitioned into three pods. There is also a circulation area in a separate room next to the outdoor play. An unwell child is isolated in pod #3, and the staff will observe and supervise the child until parents are informed to come and pick them up.
LPA assessed the Center for health and safety hazards with the Director. LPA observed that the facility has an electronic sign-in / out for parents or authorized representatives, and a pin code is provided to parents. The Center is clean and organized. There is ample heating, lighting, and ventilation. The facility has age-appropriate toys, furnishings, cribs, changing tables, and equipment. There were no pools, spas, or other bodies of water noticed by LPA. LPA observed no bouncers, exersaucers, or similar equipment at the Center. According to the Director, there are no firearms or weapons at the Center. All cleaning materials and possibly hazardous objects are kept out of reach of children. There are separate restrooms for the personnel.
The lids of all solid waste storage containers are tightly fitted. There are multiple carbon monoxide detectors, a centralized smoke alarm, and a fully equipped First Aid kit at the facility. LPA observed four changing tables. The diaper changing tables have at least 1" thick padding, are covered with disposable paper, and have at least 3" elevated edges. The changing tables are within arm's reach of the sink, and disposable wipes are used to clean after each usage. There is a separate sleeping room where infants can nap or rest without being disturbed. There is sufficient sleeping equipment, cribs, and cots for each child. Mats and bedding are kept in the appropriate location. Parents' breast milk/formula is appropriately stored in the refrigerator, and each bottle is labeled. Parents provide their children with formula, food, and diapers. LPA noticed that the food preparation site is clean and organized and that children are not permitted. |
