Furniture and equipment were inspected for age appropriateness and good repair. Telephone service, heating, lighting and ventilation were evaluated. Children have their own cubby to store their belongings. Napping equipment was not inspected as the program operates a separate AM and PM session. Per Teacher, the isolation area is in Room 10 and is located on the adjacent Intensive Learning Center (elementary school) due to COVID-19 protocols set in place by the BUSD. In Room 10, a cot may be placed for an ill child and a separate restroom located near Room 10 or the staff restroom is readily available if an ill child requires it. Age appropriate sinks and toilets were inspected for availability and good repair. General sanitation was observed.
Availability of indoor and outdoor drinking water was observed (drinking fountains and water bottles). Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, medication and other items that are hazardous to children, were made inaccessible to children in all areas. Teacher confirmed that there are no poisons stored at the facility. The program provides snacks and meals to the children. The snacks and meals are prepared by the BUSD.

Smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector was tested and is operable. The fire extinguisher is fully charged and was last serviced on 8/10/2022. First Aid supplies were observed and kept in each classroom. According to the Teacher, medication is only administered to a child when accompanied with a doctor's note and medication is stored in a locked cabinet in each classroom.

Outdoor playground equipment is in a safe condition, free of sharp, lose or pointed parts. The surface of the outdoor activity space is maintained in a safe condition and is free of hazards. All areas around or under high climbing equipment, slides, and similar equipment are cushioned with material that could absorb a fall. There is adequate shade in the outdoor play yard. No bodies of water were observed on the premises.

All staff have fingerprint clearances through BUSD as a condition of employment. There is at least one person present with a valid Pediatric First Aid and CPR certification (EMSA-approved) during this inspection.
