25 | An annual random inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Amy Strother. 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.
The facility’s operating hours are 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Monday-Friday. The facility was toured inside and outside and the floor and yard plan submitted by the licensee were verified. The items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds and medications) were observed to be inaccessible to children. The director stated that there are no poisons stored on the premises and none were observed during today's inspection. The toys, floors, desks and other equipment and surfaces are clean, toxic free, safe and in good condition. There is uncontaminated drinking water available to children both indoors and outdoors provided by individually labelled water bottles filled with filtered water. The children's bathrooms are in safe and sanitary condition. Food prep areas are clean. Food is properly stored and refrigerated as needed. There was no contaminated food observed. Garbage cans containing solid waste have tight fitting lids. The LPA observed a working carbon monoxide detector in the facility. The playground was free of hazards. The playground equipment and surface areas were in safe condition. There is wood chip cushioning underneath climbing structures and/or play equipment to absorb falls. LPA Strother suggested to the director to move some of the wood chips from the corners of the yard to the areas under the slide and climbing wall on the climber to better cushion those areas. There were no bodies of water observed. The director stated there are no weapons stored on site and none were observed. During today's inspection, staffing ratios were being met, and 11 children were being supervised by 2 teachers/aides. The facility was operating within the licensed capacity. At least one staff member present during the visit (S1) possessed current CPR and First Aid certifications. The sign-in/sign-out procedure was reviewed and in compliance. Six children’s records were reviewed at 11:25 a.m., and contained signed admission agreements as well as all of the required documents.
