Children's restrooms were sanitary and in good working condition, and a separate staff restroom was available on site. No bodies of water were observed anywhere on the premises. The center currently operates under an outdoor activity waiver permitting a maximum of thirty children on the playground at one time, requiring a rotational schedule.
The outdoor area was clean, fully fenced, and free of hazards. The play structure had appropriate cushioning material beneath. However, During the outdoor inspection, LPA observed that a corner section of the rubber cushioning had been removed from its designated location and was being used as a makeshift leveler for the play structure. The missing piece created an uneven surface and posed a tripping hazard. The Director stated she would have maintenance staff return the corner piece to its original position. LPA also noted another section of rubber surfacing that was warped and protruding, which likewise presented a tripping hazard. LPA reminded the Director to inspect the sandbox daily before use.
The Director reported that the center provides breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Children bring water bottles from home, and water pitchers are available indoors and outdoors for refills. All waste containers throughout the facility had tight-fitting lids. Required postings, including the facility license, Parent Rights, Personal Rights, Car Seat Law, Emergency Disaster Plan, waiver, and daily activity schedule, were visibly displayed.
A review of randomly selected children’s files showed complete documentation, including immunization records, admission agreements, emergency contact information, and personal rights forms. Personnel files reviewed during the inspection confirmed that staff members had current background clearances, valid CPR certifications, and up-to-date mandated reporter training. The Director stated that the facility conducts monthly fire and earthquake drills, with the most recent drill completed on August 25, 2026.
