32 | The children will ask staff to refill, and staff refill them. As far as for infants, it’s the same thing, there is a water jug and water bottles in the classroom. It’s also a requirement for the food program; S4 has worked with children for 40 years, S4 can read the infant’s body language. The infants also get water offered at meals. Four (4) out of four (4) children interviewed denied staff have ever denied them water and stated there is water available to drink. Two of two parents interviewed made no disclosures regarding the allegation.
LPA’s observations during the inspection, LPA observed water pitchers in each classroom with cups in addition to children’s own water bottles with their names labeled on them. Every child’s bottles had water in the them and staff seemed to refill them as needed and had water available for children throughout the day.
Regarding the allegation, Facility did not ensure that it is free of bugs/insects, S1 stated the only time there has been insects is during the summer like mosquitos and fleas. The facility was treated twice, inside and outside. Since then, S1 has not seen any fleas. If staff see any evidence of insects, they will get the facility serviced right away but if not, at least annually during the summer. S2 disclosed sometimes that in the summer the children get mosquitos bites but it’s only like one or two and staff ask parents to bring bug spray. But never like a swarm of bites. S2 stated that usually in the summer there is mosquitoes and fruit flies. When staff start to see insects, staff tell S5, and S5 takes care of it right away and the facility gets treated. In the summer as soon as staff notice any bites on the children, staff tell S5. Some kids come with bites from home, but staff still let S5 know. S3 disclosed that in the summertime the facility got mosquitoes and fruit flies. Pest control comes often to maintain the facility. If more treatments are needed, they come more often. The children have gotten bites in the summertime, but they also get some from home, some kids are sensitive. S4 disclosed that last year and this year, in the summer, there was a flea problem. S4 had an exterminator come and treat the facility. When there is a problem, the exterminators come on the weekends. The facility was treated until there wasn’t a problem anymore. Some of the children got bites but just during that time in the summer but no more. Three (3) out of four (4) children interviewed denied getting insect bites at the facility. Child #1 (C1) disclosed getting mosquito bites and that since the school got sprayed, it helped the problem. Two of two parents interviewed made no disclosures regarding the allegation.
LPA’s observations during the inspection, LPA did not observe insects or evidence of insects at the facility. LPA was provided with Pest Control invoices which show the facility seems to be getting treated regularly from 2022 to the current year, 2025.
