On 04/09/2024 at 9:30am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Samantha Clenista conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection for an increase in capacity. Upon arrival, LPA met with Facility Representatives, Cathy Goldberg (Center Director) and Lynn Thedell (Assistant Director). Facility is requesting to be licensed for 36 infants (ages 6 weeks-24 months) in Rooms 100, 101 and 102. Fire clearance was granted on 04/03/2024. Hours of operation will be Monday thru Friday, 7:30am-5pm. Present during today’s inspection were 20 children with 7 staff. Appropriate ratios and supervision were observed. All indoor and outdoor activity space utilized for the children was inspected today. LPA informed Facility Representatives that staff are required to maintain direct visual supervision of the children at all times during indoor and outdoor activities.

LPA continued to tour the facility and measured new additional indoor and outdoor activity space. Total infant indoor activity space measured 1,414.14 sq. ft., which is sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 36 children. LPA observed all indoor activity space to be complete with safe, age-appropriate furniture and equipment, including tables, chairs, cubbies, napping cots/mats, bookshelves, and other activity supplies for the children. Drinking water is available inside and outside the classrooms via filtered refrigerator water and Sparklett jugs. Facility requires the parents/guardians to bring their child(ren) their own refillable water bottles. There is a separate crib area located in Room 102 which currently has 7 cribs. There is a changing table within arm’s reach of a sink in each classroom, available for children use. LPA observed all hazardous items to be inaccessible to children. LPA observed there to be a small water fountain like pot near the entryway of the main office. LPA observed there to be rocks placed at the bottom, high enough to refrain from water accumulating and standing more than one inch. See file for photos. LPA also observed there to be an armed guard on site prior to entering the facility campus. Facility Representatives stated that they have had an armed guard since approximately 2021. See 9102 for Technical Violation for facility not reporting having an armed guard to CCL.

Facility Representatives are now aware that a waiver must be requested. LPA obtained armed guard waiver request at conclusion of visit. LPA observed a total of 3 sinks available for children’s use. These are sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity of 36 children.

The facility currently has a fully fenced playground area. Fencing (via brick and vertical wrought iron) is at least four feet high. The total square footage for all the outdoor activity space is 1,159.03 sq. ft., which is sufficient to only accommodate 15 infants 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 shall be submitted and approved prior to licensure. Shade is provided via canopies. There are sufficient outdoor age-appropriate toys and play equipment available on the playground. There is adequate cushioning in fall zones of climber provided by poured and play rubber. LPA observed all hazardous items on the playground to be inaccessible to children. Facility Representatives were reminded that any changes to the facility must be reported to and approved by Community Care Licensing. Facility had their water tested for lead on 01/19/23, and no lead exceedance was found.

The following corrections are needed prior to the issuance of the license:
  • Obtain an approved playground waiver request to share the infant outdoor space on a scheduled basis in the AM and PM due to limited square footage.
  • Obtain an approved armed guard waiver.

Facility Representatives stated they understand that all proof of corrections must be provided to the Department within 30 days, or the application may be denied.
