25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Cortney Nelson, met with Program Director, Lisa Hindman Holbert, to follow-up on inactive status for the facility. LPA was granted access to the facility by Lisa upon arrival and toured inside and outside the facility.
LPA toured inside of the infant room and observed it is equipped with one diaper changing table, one crib, and four small feeding chairs. The crib is free from loose articles, covered with a fitted sheet, and there are no objects hanging above or attached to the crib. There is a waste container with a tight fitting lid. The room is physically separate from other components at the facility and LPA advised that all components (infant, toddler, preschool) must remain separate at all times. LPA advised that toddlers enrolled under the age of two years old must follow Safe Sleep requirements and LPA reviewed requirements with Lisa during today's inspection. PIN 20-24-CCP and LIC9227 were provided.
LPA discussed the safe sleep regulations with licensee and discussed the Child Care Licensing Safe Sleep webpage at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/child-care-licensing/public-information-and-resources/safe-sleep as an additional resource.
LPA toured inside the toddler room and observed there are various activity zones for children, such as a kitchen, block area, quiet area, art area, and music area. All toys are age appropriate and safe for day care children. The room is equipped with two changing tables (one located in the classroom and one located in the bathroom) and LPA advised that they must be placed within arms reach of a sink.
The facility has a built in fire system that LPA advised inspection by Fire Department to review all components are functioning properly. There is a functioning carbon monoxide detector and Lisa states that she will purchase a fire extinguisher. LPA advised fire extinguishers shall be 2A10BC size or larger. LPA reviewed the personnel roster (LIC500) to confirm there are adequate staffing for toddlers/infants and observed there is one qualified teacher. Lisa states that she will only plan to enroll maximum of six toddlers, while staffed with one teacher, and has other staff that work for Community Bridges that could be used to assist with watching toddlers. |
