The facility will provide incidental medical services to children (EpiPen & Inhalers) and prescription/non-prescription medications as needed.

There are eight tables, fifty three chairs, forty eight cubbies, and forty eight nap cots available for children's use. Nittaya states that additional cubbies and nap cots are still being delivered to the facility. There is adequate equipment, supplies and toys for the children in the facility. Drinking water will be provided indoors and outdoors via filtered water pitcher to refill water bottles. There is a working phone on site (831) 649-1951 that will contact the office to be transferred to the specific preschool classrooms. There are no weapons or firearms on the premises. Ashley states that sign-in/out will be completed upon arrival and LPA reminded to obtain full legal signature and time of day. The facility does not plan to transport children.

The facility is planning to offer children in care breakfast, lunch, and PM snack. There is a kitchen on site that can be used for preparing food and Nittaya states that food will be provided through the school district, Nutrition Services. LPA advised that a copy of the food menu and portion sizes shall be posted. Until a kitchen staff member is hired, the food will be prepared and provided from another site and brought to Monte Vista to be served. There is a refrigerator that can be used to keep food cold as needed.

OUTDOOR MEASUREMENTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Outdoor Yard: 13.000 x 81.000 = 1053
136.750 x 181.917 = 24877.150
Total: 25930.150

25930.150 - no encumbered space= 25930.150/ 75 SQ FEET = 345 children

The preschool program will utilize the outdoor space located behind classrooms K1 and K2. LPA observed that the outdoor area is fenced in and has a large grass area, tanbark area, and blacktop area. Nittaya states that a new playground for children ages 2-5 will be installed and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The construction will be completed on the weekend or during winter break. Additional equipment will be added to provide shade to children, such as umbrellas, as currently shade is provided by building overhang and trees. LPA advised that the grass area needs to be worked on as there are currently holes in the ground from squirrels, which poses a tripping hazard to children. There are bikes, balls, and water tables available for the children to play with. LPA did not observe any bodies of water during today's inspection.

Fingerprint clearances are completed by Monterey Peninsula Unified School District and the facility will operate under Title 5 requirements.

LPA reviewed with Facility Representatives the LIC 311A, Records to be Maintained at the Facility for child’s records, personnel records, administrative records, and documents to be posted.
