LPAs also observed 1 crib and 1 play yard in the infant classroom. Per the staff, those items are used if a child falls asleep and can't be taken to the napping room at the moment. LPAs observed blankets and stuffed toys inside the crib and play yard. No children were observed to be using the crib or play yard. Per Staff, the blankets and toys are taken out when in use. LPAs observed that the play yard is positioned under items mounted on the wall which poses a potential safety risk to children in care. LPA advised Director to remove the items or to move the position of the play yard. Age appropriate sinks and toilets were inspected for availability and good repair in the restrooms. There is a restroom in each classroom with 1 sink and 1 toilet next to the diaper changing areas. There is a diaper changing table in the infant classroom with a sink within arms reach. The toddler classroom also has a diaper changing table. The infant changing table has raised sides that are at least 3 inches high. General sanitation was observed.
Per Director, the isolation area is located in a separate room in the church overflow room away from other children. Drinking water is provided via a water jug and plastic cups labeled with children's names. First Aid supplies were observed in the classrooms.
Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and other items that are dangerous to children, were observed to be inaccessible. Director states at this time they have no children requiring medication. Medication would be stored in the Director's office. Director states that there are no poisons stored at the facility and understands that storage areas for poisons must be locked with a key or combination lock. The facility does not have a carbon monoxide detector. There is a central fire alarm installed in the facility.
LPA observed kitchen areas/food preparation areas and food storage areas are kept clean and are free of litter, rubbish, rodents, and/or any other vermin. Meals are prepared in the kitchen and are distributed to the classroom ready to serve. Menus were reviewed and are posted one month in advance. The facility provides breakfast, lunch and snack for children who eat table food. Children who do not consume table food bring their own formula or milk and it is kept in the classroom. All storage containers for solid waste, including moveable bins have tight-fitting covers that are kept on, and in good repair. All foods/beverages are stored in covered containers. The refrigerator in the kitchen did not have a thermostat available, therefore LPAs were unable to check if food is stored at 45˚ (F) or less.

The two programs use the outdoor space following a staggered schedule. At the time of this inspection, the outdoor area being used was not the area approved when the facility was licensed.

Per the Director, no children were outside when this incident occurred, children and staff were in the classrooms. Per Director, parents were notified of the incident on 10/13/22 .
