25 | On April 7, 2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeremey McClain met with Director Heather Cole for an unannounced required annual random inspection. No children and staff were observed during the inspection as the director stated that the school age program is not currently enrolling children at the time, although the license is still active.
LPA inspected all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, food service, and outdoor play areas. Hazardous items are inaccessible to children. Furniture and equipment are in operable and safe condition. Playground equipment and surfaces are free of loose or sharp parts, and adequate cushioning was observed in areas underneath climbing equipment. Toileting facilities are in safe, sanitary, and operating condition. The floors appeared clean throughout the facility. The food preparation space is free of litter and all food was protected against contamination. Storage containers with solid waste have tight-fitting covers in each classroom. Medications are appropriately stored and inaccessible to children. LPA observed a functional carbon monoxide detector.
Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. The facility is not currently providing IMS. For IMS information see Evaluator Manual - Regulation Interpretations and Procedures for Child Care Centers Sections 101173 and 101226. When any IMS is provided, an updated Plan of Operation that includes IMS must be submitted to the Department.
The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice)/(800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm.
LPA informed the Director about Assembly Bill 2370, which will require certain licensed Child Care Facilities to test their water for excessive amounts of lead. Testing will be required beginning January 1, 2020.
