32 | LPA also observed 12 sinks and 12 toilets available for the preschool children's use. These are sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 66 toddlers and 168 preschool children.
The facility currently has a fully fenced playground area. Wrought iron fencing is at least four feet high. The total square footage for all the toddler outdoor activity space was remeasured today and the total square feet is 1960.77 square feet (1426.68 square feet for the large turf toddler play area and 534.09 square feet for the toddler side yard). The toddler outdoor area is sufficient for 26 children at one time, insufficient for the number of children being requested. A playground waiver to share the playground at different times in the AM and PM due to limited square footage was submitted to LPA during today's inspection. There are sufficient outdoor age-appropriate toys and play equipment available on the playground. The toddler outdoor play area has turf at the playground and there is a large shade structure and pop-up shade that is at the toddler playground and the side toddler yard has sail shade. The preschool climber has adequate rubber cushioning in fall zones of the play structure. The play structure is designed for children ages 2 to 5 years old. There are two large slides on the slope that lacks cushioning, and the facility will tape that area off until the facility add cushioning to the area to ensure children's safety. Drinking water is available via children's own water bottles. LPA observed all hazardous items on the playground to be inaccessible to children. Assistant Director was reminded that any changes to the facility must be reported to and approved by Community Care Licensing.
Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over responsible for administration or direct supervision of staff, persons who provides care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Childcare Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5-days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30-days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
Facility is pending outdoor playground waiver for the toddler yard. Once approved, a license for 234 children including 66 toddlers (ages 18 to 36 months) and 168 preschool children (ages 2 to 5 years old) will be granted.
See LIC9102 advisory notes.
A notice of site visit was given to Assistant Director and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days. |
