| Fingerprint clearances for all individuals requiring caregiver background checks were obtained through the State Department and/or County Office of Education and are not under the jurisdiction of Community Care Licensing Division.
LPA Barnes inspected the indoor environment. The flooring did not present tripping or slipping hazards. Toy containers had smooth edges, ventilation, and lids designed to prevent finger entrapment. Each child had an individually labeled storage space. Each child was assigned individual bedding, consisting of cots, which were not shared. Bedding covers and blankets were washed weekly by the facility. Bedding was stored to avoid commingling. Cots were arranged to allow walkways for movement and staff access.
Walls, floors, and dispensers were disinfected after each use and maintained. Cleaning supplies and chemicals were stored in locked cabinets, separate from food and out of children’s reach. Floors were mopped and carpets were vacuumed daily. Trash was placed in covered containers. The indoor temperature was recorded at 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
LPA Barnes reviewed five children’s files during the inspection and found them complete. LPA reviewed the sign-in and sign-out records through the app HUBBE. Each parent had a unique PIN and was required to sign, date, and record the time.
LPA Barnes reviewed seven staff files. All files were complete. LPA Barnes informed the Site Supervisor that Mandated Reporter Training was required every two years. LPA Barnes stated that at least one staff member was required to maintain current CPR and First Aid certification at all times. LPA Barnes stated that aides and assistants were required to remain under the supervision of a qualified teacher except during naptime or bathroom transitions
During the outdoor inspection, LPA Barnes observed that all walkways, ramps, and stairs were free of hazards. The outdoor space was fenced at least five feet high, was free of debris, and did not contain any accessible hazards or bodies of water. The play area provided shade and was arranged to allow movement and access.
