25 | On Thursday, July 28th, 2022, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Chayntel Hunter and Arianna Manabat met with Director Lidia Lopez for an unannounced annual inspection. At 9:00 AM, LPAs toured the facility including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service and outdoor play areas. Census included 10 infant children in care with six staff. The Director was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license. Facility hours of operation are Monday through Friday 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM. 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.
LPAs observed a current Needs and Services plan for each infant in care. LPAs observed documentation that sleep checks were being conducted by staff every 15 minutes for all children under two. Stored milk was kept in a refrigerator inside the classroom and the packages were labeled with the child's name and date. The facility provides AM and PM snack and lunch. The cleaning solutions were kept separate from the stored food items in the kitchen.
All furnishings were in good condition. Infant diaper changing area is clean and within arm's reach of a sink. There is a one inch thick mat for the changing table with a vinyl surface. Toys are appropriate size with no small parts for the safety of the infants. Classrooms all appeared clean including the carpets and floor. Chemicals and cleaning materials were kept inaccessible to children. Playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are in good condition with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall. Shade was provided via awnings and trees. Drinking water was readily available to children indoors via water cooler and cups and outside via water jug.
