Upon arrival LPA met with Director Karyne Begin and proceeded to tour the facility. LPA provided the LIC 125, Entrance Checklist to the director. Also present were a total of seven children with two staff members. Appropriate ratios and capacity were observed. Staff members Marielena Santiago and Margarita Lopez Velasquez have the required background clearances but are not associated to the facility. No excluded individuals are present.
There are no bodies of water or weapons at this facility. There is an operational carbon monoxide detector. Toys are safe and do not have sharp points, edges or splinters, or made of small parts that can be pulled off. There is sufficient infant napping equipment. The infant changing table has a padded surface no less than one inch thick, covered with washable vinyl, and raised sides at least 3 inches high. The changing table is within reach of a sink. LPA observed an exersaucer in the infant room. All infants including those napping in cribs are under visual observation at all times. Rooms have adequate heating, lighting, and ventilation. Solid waste storage vessels, including moveable bins, have tight-fitting covers on, and are in good repair. Disinfectants, hazardous items and medications are inaccessible to children through latches and locks. The infant indoor and outdoor activity space is physically separate from the space used by other day care children. The director states that a fence is erected when the outdoor play area is used. A playground waiver is on file. The outdoor play area has a trellis used for shade. The infant room has a refrigerator used for infant food storage. LPA observed infant food and milk in the refrigerator which was not properly labeled with the child’s name and date. Drinking water is readily accessible inside and outside the classroom. Menus are posted. Admission agreement, emergency information and medical assessment forms were reviewed for some children. Individual Feeding and Needs and Services Plans were reviewed for some infants. Six Individual Feeding and Needs and Services Plans reviewed were not current. Infant Sleeping Plans were also reviewed for some infants. Nap documentation did not contain the time of each 15-minute check and the initials of the person who conducted each check.
