25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tyra Block conducted an unannounced annual inspection. LPA met with director, Holly Robles.
The indoor and outdoor of the facility was inspected. The following ratios were observed during the inspection: Red Group: 2 staff and 10 children; Purple Group: 2 staff and 15 children; and Blue Group: 2 staff and 16 children. Two children were being picked up when LPA arrived, therefore there was a total of 43 children observed. A copy of the facility roster was also obtained. The facility operates within licensed capacity and ratio limitations and children were observed to be under visual supervision. The classroom and restrooms have adequate lighting, heating, and ventilation. All floors appeared to be safe and clean. Furniture, children's cubbies, and toys appeared to be in good condition. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions and other hazardous items are stored behind latched cabinets. Medication policies and procedures were reviewed. Menu for snacks is posted monthly. All food inspected was stored properly and protected from contamination. Sign in/out sheets were reviewed showing parent/guardian’s signature and time of day recorded. The kitchen and storage areas appeared to be clean. The surface of the outdoor activity space is maintained in a safe condition with sufficient shade and wood chips to provide cushioning under climbers and swings. Drinking water is available inside the classrooms for children to refill their water bottles, and loaners are available. There are no bodies of water or weapons present on the premises. The last fire drill was conducted and documented on 11/8/22. The entrance room is designated for use by children who are ill. A sample of children records, including medical assessment, identification and emergency information were reviewed. Staff's records and transcripts were reviewed to verify teacher qualifications and experience. Opening and closing staff members have current CPR and First Aid certifications. A review of staff records indicate that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. The carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher (3A10BC) are operational.
