25 | A Required 3-Year inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), Melchisedeck Augustin and Robert Maciel. The facility file was reviewed prior to this visit. A review of the personnel report on file indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Center Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
There were two teachers, and two Aides were supervising thirteen children in Infant and Toddler classrooms. Operating hours are 6:00am - 6:00pm, Mon-Fri. During today's inspection, infant staffing ratios were being met and children were being directly supervised by staff, and the facility was operating within the licensed capacity. The facility was toured inside and outside, and the floor and yard plan were verified. Activity space for infants is separate from other age groups. The items which could pose a danger to children (detergents and cleaning compounds) were inaccessible to children. LPAs did not observe any poison(s). The facility was free of flies, insects, and rodents. The toys, floors, and other equipment and surfaces appeared clean, toxic free, safe for infants and in good condition. There is drinking water available to children both indoors and outdoors. The infant changing tables have at least 3" sides and sanitary vinyl pads that are at least 1" thick and a sink that is within an arm’s reach. There is sufficient napping equipment (cribs and cots) available that met the requirements. During today's inspection, LPAs observed several children under 24 months old napping on cots, however; based on the Center Director's statement, she could not confirm if all the children could climb out of their crib. A current menu was posted in each classroom, and food prep areas are clean. Food is properly stored and refrigerated as needed. The playground was free of hazards. The playground equipment and surface areas appeared in safe condition. (Continue to LIC 809-C) |
