A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
LPA observed a current Needs and Services plan for each infant in care. LPA observed an Infant Sleeping Plan (LIC9227) for each child under 12 months of age. LPA observed documentation that sleep checks were being conducted by staff every 15 minutes for all children under two years old. Bottles and baby food were kept in a refrigerator inside the classroom, and each was labeled with the child's name and date. LPA observed that all cribs were free of loose articles or objects and there was one crib or mat for each infant child in care. Sheets were tightly fitted. All furnishings were in good condition. Staff stated that the bedding is changed daily. Infant diaper changing area appeared to be clean and within arm's reach of a sink. There is a one-inch-thick mat for the changing table with a vinyl surface. Toys appear to be age appropriate, with no small parts as required for the safety of the infants.
Classrooms all appeared clean. Chemicals were kept inaccessible to children. Playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are in good condition with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall. Uncontaminated drinking water was readily available to children both indoors and outdoors. |
