The outdoor activity space was inspected for compliance. The playground was enclosed by a fence at least four feet in height. The surface of the outdoor activity space was well maintained and free of hazards. The cushioning material commercially produced for the purpose around the climbing equipment, structures, slides and other similar equipment appeared to be enough to absorbs falls. Drinking water in the outdoor activity space is by sports bottles with the child’s name on it. During inspection, LPA observed a wiggle ladder on the play structure to have caution tape on it. Staff stated one end of the bottom ladder has become unanchored and loose, which is why caution tape has been put on it to prevent children from using it. Director stated wiggle ladder has been in disrepair for a week. LPA also observed one of the slides to have a crack at the bottom. LPA observed there was duct tape in attempts to cover the crack, however the tape has came undone and the crack is exposed. Director stated they have placed a work order for those items to be repaired. Director showed LPA an invoice for the work order. There are no bodies of water present at the facility. The facility grounds were safe, sanitary and in good repair.
Staff files were reviewed for staff present during the facility inspection this date; 7 staff files were reviewed. Health screening and immunizations as required were reviewed. Beginning September 1, 2016, Health and Safety (H&S) 1597.622 states, a person shall not be employed or volunteer at a childcare center if he or she has not been immunized against influenza, pertussis, and measles. Proof of immunization against pertussis, measles for 7 staff were reviewed and within compliance.
Beginning March 31, 2018, H&S Code 1596.8662 requires all directors and employees to complete mandated reporting training, and to renew the training every two years. All seven staff had Mandated Reporter Training certificates that were completed and none were expired. Staff present possesses current EMSA approved Pediatric CPR/First Aid certifications, which expires 11/02/2026.
Children's records were reviewed, and there was a separate, complete and current record for each child. A random sample of 5 children's files were reviewed for documentation of the child’s name, address, and telephone number of the child’s authorized representative and of relatives or others that can assume responsibility for the child if the authorized representative cannot be reached when necessary (LIC 700) and a medical assessment. In the areas reviewed the children’s files were found to be in full compliance. Sign in/out procedure was reviewed for compliance. The facility currently uses an app called Hubbe. The person who signs the child in and out uses their full legal signature and records the time of the day.
