25 | On Friday, January 6, 2023, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Amanda Sutter and Soleil Marx met with Director Sherry Velte for the purpose of an unannounced required annual inspection. LPAs observed 26 children supervised by 12 staff. All individuals subject to criminal background review have obtained a criminal record clearance. The facility hours of operation are Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
LPAs toured classroom space, restroom, kitchen, and outdoor play area. LPAs observed the following documents are posted: License, Parents' Rights Poster, Personal Rights Poster, menu, daily schedule, and seat belt law. LPAs observed a functional carbon monoxide detector. Cleaning disinfectants, medications and hazardous items are appropriately stored and inaccessible to children. LPAs observed expired medication: one epinephrine injector (epipen) in Casa 1, one albuterol inhaler in Casa 2, and one albuterol inhaler in Casa 3. LPAs reviewed the FDA drug shortages list and observed that albuterol is currently in a shortage. The epipen in Casa 1 was not stored with the original packaging, therefore LPAs could not confirm that the epipen observed is currently in shortage. Director was advised to get a note from the children’s doctors stating expired medication is acceptable to use due to drug shortages, or to get new medication from the children’s parents. Director stated there are no poisons or firearms on the premises. Furniture and equipment are in good condition, and toileting facilities are in safe, sanitary, and operating condition. The program provides breakfast, lunch, and one snack. Meals are cooked at the facility in the kitchen.
LPAs observed trash bins with tight fitted lids. LPA observed the facility’s electronic sign in and out system. Facility has record of conducting fire drills at least every six months; last fire drill was conducted on November 21, 2022. Playground equipment and surfaces are free of loose or sharp parts and bark is present under the equipment to provide sufficient cushioning. There are sufficient equipment and toys, and shaded areas are supplied overhangs and trees. Drinking water is readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. Director stated that children use paper cups filled by pitchers.
