The facility had a temporary outdoor play area built due to construction being done on the building adjacent to it. LPA observed a six-foot gap between the new outdoor play area and the building that is under construction. There are age-appropriate toys and equipment available for children. LPA measured the available outdoor space and found the temporary playground to measure at 1367.22 sq. ft, allowing for 18 children to be present at a time. The facility currently has a rotational use waiver for 18 children using the prior outdoor play area. During the visit, LPA acquired a sketch of the temporary outdoor play area in addition to a signed request for the use of the temporary play area.
LPA reviewed five personnel files, five children’s files, and facility records. There is at least one staff member with current First Aid/CPR training. All staff have current Mandated Reporter Training. All staff present during today’s visit have valid fingerprint clearance and are associated to the facility. LPA observed all children’s files to be complete. Admission agreements were available for review electronically. Per D1, the facility uses Brightwheel for sign-in/out. Parents drop off and pick up children immediately outside the facility and use the Brightwheel app. The facility last conducted an emergency drill on 3/6/2024. Emergency drills are properly logged and documented.
