25 | On November 7, 2023 at 9:30am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Julia Placencia arrived unannounced for a Required-3 Year inspection. LPA met with director Rochelle Westmoreland. There were 10 children and an additional 3 staff members present during the inspection. This program is part of a combination center which also includes an preschool component. Classrooms currently being used and inspected today are the Jellyfish and Sea Turtles rooms. The Baby Beluga and Angelfish rooms are currently not being used. The facility was toured for a health and safety inspection. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 5:30pm.
Furniture and napping equipment observed during inspection were age appropriate and in good condition. The indoor and outdoor activity space for the infant program is physically separate from the preschool components. Each crib is occupied by only one infant at a time, and is free from all loose objects, including blankets and pillows. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, poisons and other items that are dangerous to children were inaccessible during the inspection. The toilets and sinks were clean and in operable condition. The floors were free of tripping hazards. Kitchen/food preparation and storage areas were observed to be clean, and free of evidence of rodents, and food is protected against contamination. All storage containers for solid waste have tight-fitting covers that are in good repair. Drinking water is available both indoors and outdoors by way of Arrowhead bottled water. Menus were posted and visible for parents to view. There are no pools or similar bodies of water at this facility. Outdoor activity space and playground equipment were observed to be safe, free of hazards and had appropriate cushioning material to absorb falls. There is a shaded area provided for the children. Fire/Disaster Drills are conducted at least every six months, and a review of the log shows the last drill was conducted 10/14/2023. Required licensing documents were posted. Fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide and smoke detectors meet State Fire Marshall standards.
