LPA inspected the indoor and outdoor preschool and facility areas to identify health and safety hazards. The facility was clean, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, poisons, and other items that could pose a danger were stored in areas inaccessible to the children and located in each classroom. All accessible cabinets and drawers in the classrooms were found to be free of hazardous materials or poisons. The facility does administer prescribed medications and LPA verified medications are current and unexpired.
LPA observed all preschool classrooms to have age-appropriate toys, furniture, educational materials, and designated storage space for each child. Electrical outlets were fitted with child safety covers to prevent children's access. There are 6 toilets, and 10 sinks available for children and LPA observed bathrooms to be clean, fully operational, and equipped with suitable toileting equipment and sanitation products.
The outdoor playground has a fence that is at least four feet tall. There is a play structure for ages 2-12 years old and director was reminded to ensure this requirement is maintained at all times during outdoor play time. The play equipment is in good condition and does not have sharp, loose, or pointed parts. The areas around and under climbing equipment, swings, and slides are cushioned with resilient padding. There are no pools, spas, or bodies of water located on the property. Director was reminded to inspect daily for hazards that could pose a health and safety risk to children.
**The facility currently provides a morning and afternoon snack and menu items are displayed in the facility. Lunch is provided by a third-party vendor that parents can subscribe to.
LPA reviewed the files of six preschool children and verified that their emergency contact and medical information were complete. LPA reviewed five staff files and confirmed that all required forms were present. LPA reminded director to ensure staff have updated qualifications and trainings at all times.
Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test. LPA verified that the lead testing was completed in accordance to the Written Directives outlined in PIN 21-21.1-CCP.
