32 | At 9:15am, Licensing staff toured through the proposed infant and toddler classrooms. This facility will have one Infant classroom and one Toddler classroom. Licensing staff observed the Toddler classroom to be physically separated from the Infant classroom. Licensing staff observed that entrances to each room were separate to prevent crossing over between classrooms. Individual storage space was observed in the classrooms. At 9:30am, LPA observed a refrigerator available in the kitchen for storing infant formula, bottles, infant food. Per applicant, the refrigerator was instructed to be removed from Infant classroom as a safety precaution during their fire clearance inspection. Licensing staff advised applicant to contact the fire inspector to ask if the refrigerator can be placed in the Infant room as long as it is secured to the wall and/or counter. The classrooms will have water pitchers available and the use of disposable cups for children to drink freely. The room has central heating and air-conditioning.
Parents will provide lunch, baby food, milk, and snacks for infants and toddlers enrolled in this program. Facility also provides am snack, lunch, and pm snack. Medications will be stored in a medication box in the office. First aid supplies are available in the each classroom. The office will be used as an ill/isolation area. There is a mat available for ill children to rest if needed. Applicant states that ill infants will be changed in the staff restroom if needed.
Infant changing tables have a padded surface no less than one inch thick and are covered with a disposable paper cover and have raised sides at least three inches high. There is a sink within arms reach of the infant changing table with hot and cold running water.
Indoor activity space for this infant program is physically separate from the other components at this facility, and meets the requirements of 101438.3 (a) - (e).
The Crib/napping area is separated and has its own area of the classroom. This area was not part of the measurements. Cribs meet the new crib law: rail is fixed and cannot be lowered, mattress is at its lowest position, and mattress is moisture resistant. Staff can visually supervise a sleeping infant. At this time there are 4 cribs and cots available, which are arranged so as to provide a walkway and work space between the cribs to permit staff to reach each infant without having to step over or reach over any other infant. Evacuation/Emergency crib is also available. Licensing staff advised applicant to purchase more cribs for the requested capacity.
