On 02/22/2024 at 8:30 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Sikia Blue conducted an unannounced random inspection for Las Semilltas Cooperative School. LPA met with designated facility Director, Ada Sosa. This is a preschool program licensed for 40 children which operates Monday – Friday from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Upon arrival there were 23 children present separated in two classrooms. Classroom one with ages 3-5 has 12 children and classroom two ages 2-3 has 11 children. At 8:30 AM LPA observed the sign in sign out sheet had 7 signatures but 10 children in care inside. LPA asked director if there were 7 children here and Director stated there were more and parents forgot to sign them in. LPA then observed director signing children in. LPA observed the second sign in sign out sheet and it had 9 signatures. LPA observed director signing in 2 more children who parents did not sign them in. At 9:30 AM LPA went back to check the sign in sheet because more children arrived in classroom one and now there were 11 signatures but 12 children in care. It is determined that the sign in sign out procedure is not being completed per regulations. LPA explained the importance of making sure whoever drops the children off should be signing in with full legal signature and time.

LPA Sikia Blue began facility tour and all areas identified on the facility sketch were inspected. LPA observed the facility to be clean, sanitary and in good repair. Furniture and equipment were inspected for good repair, free of sharp, loose, or pointed parts. All indoor classrooms were inspected to ensure that the floors have a surface that is safe and clean. All toilets and hand washing facilities are in safe and sanitary operating conditions. All materials and surfaces accessible to children are toxic free. Currently, the room across from classroom one is used as an isolation area. Parents are contacted immediately when children are determined to be ill and staff are ensuring that children with obvious symptoms of illness are not being accepted.
