LPA toured the inside and outside of the facility. The licensee is CA State University Stanislaus Child Development Center, and they are requesting a capacity increase from 30 preschool children ages 2-5 to 64 preschool children ages 2-5 by moving into a newly constructed facility on the campus of CA State University Stanislaus. The new building is at the same address as the old building. Preschool program will be operating in Preschool Classrooms A and B (3-5 year olds) and Toddler Classrooms A and B (24-36 month olds). This program currently operates on a traditional school year schedule Monday – Friday 7:30 am – 4:30 pm. Facility provides AM & PM snacks. Parents provide lunch but facility has food on hand in case a parent forgets to send their child with lunch. Snacks will be prepared onsite in a central kitchen. The kitchen area currently includes a freezer, refrigerator, oven, stove and sink. The kitchen area and food storage areas were observed to be free of rodents and/or vermin. Food was observed to be properly stored separate from cleaning materials. Hazardous items in the kitchen are inaccessible to children via a locked door. Ill children will be isolated in Room 128 (Research Room) and utilize the staff bathroom located in the southern end of the main lobby. Cleaning supplies are inaccessible to children.
The classrooms were observed to be clean and free of toxins. LPA observed that the furniture and equipment in the classrooms appeared to be safe and in good condition. Facility has a working carbon monoxide detector on the premises. LPA observed that there are plenty of tables, chairs, sleeping cots and cubbies. LPA observed plenty of age appropriate items & toys.
Room measurements were taken and reviewed with Director. The total inside preschool area measured to an approximate 3,084 square feet which will accommodate the requested capacity of 64 preschool children. There are a total of 6 toilets and 20 sinks/hand washing fixtures which will accommodate 64 preschool children.
LPA observed drinking fountains in each of the classrooms where children can freely access water. Children bring water bottles from home that they can use to also fill with water.
