25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cortney Nelson, met with Administrator, Lisa Patterson, and Site Director, Roberta Handley, for an unannounced Required- 1 Year Inspection. LPA was granted access to the facility by staff member, Michelle, and toured both indoors and outdoors during the inspection. Upon arrival, there were twelve (12) preschool-age children and two (2) staff members present, which is compliant with the facility license capacity and ratio requirements. LPA observed all required postings near the entrance to the facility and the hours of operation are Monday – Friday, 8:15AM-12:15PM.
The facility offers half day programs for "twinklers" preschoolers ages three-four on Tuesday and Thursday and "sunshines" for preschoolers ages four-five on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
LPA reviewed sign-in/out sheets, facility roster (LIC9040), and fire/disaster drill log during today’s inspection. Sign-in/out was observed to be completed with full legal signature and time of day. The last fire/disaster drill was conducted on 12/12/2022, which is compliant with the six-month requirement for facilities. LPA observed a fully charged 3A40BC fire extinguisher (last serviced: 1/2023), functioning smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector. Lisa states that the facility does not currently have any children in care who require Incidental Medical Services and does not administer medication at this time. There are no weapons or firearms on the premises.
Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information see Evaluator Manual- Regulation Interpretations and Procedures for Child Care Centers, Section 101173 and 101226.
