25 | On 09/23/2022 at 10:16am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Samantha Clenista conducted an unannounced case management site inspection for the purpose to evaluate whether the licensed areas of this facility have any access to the swimming pool on site to ensure the health and safety of all children.
Upon arrival, LPA met with Director, Lauren Miller, and proceeded for the facility. There were no school-aged children present during inspection. The facility currently operates in the following rooms: Room 1 and 2. LPA toured all licensed areas and the pool area that is on site. LPA observed there to be a total of two swimming pools, 1 in ground wader pool and 2 jacuzzi’s. All bodies of water are located in one big open area behind the preschool building. The area where the bodies of water are located is enclosed via fence (mixture of chicken wire, mesh, vertical metal fencing). All fencing was observed to be higher of 5ft. One pool and one jacuzzi was separately fenced within the open area.
When LPA toured all licensed child care areas, LPA observed an enclosed playground area that the children were playing in during inspection that is fully fenced. The fence is constructed with wooden planks placed vertically and horizontally with little to no gap in between. Fencing measured over 5ft. surrounding the play area. LPA looked over the fencing and could not see the bodies of water in site. LPA reminded Director that direct visual observation of all children shall be maintained at all times during outdoor play. When LPA toured the classrooms, LPA observed there to be a total of three exits that lead to a side yard. Part of the side yard has walkway that has a chain link fence dividing the preschool area and the area where all the bodies of water are located. This chain link fence was measured at approximately 4ft. 10 inches from the ground, shy of the required 5ft. requirement. Fencing was also observed to be climbable.
