There are currently 5 preschool classrooms in use. All classrooms are well-stocked with age-appropriate toys and educational materials. The furniture is sturdy and well-maintained. The facility has carbon monoxide, centralized smoke detectors, and multiple fully charged fire extinguishers. There are telephones located in each classroom. All hazardous materials, including cleaning solutions and poisons, are kept out of children's reach. Additionally, children sleep on age-appropriate cots, which are properly stored away when not in use. The facility provides a sheet to cover the cots while children sleep; the sheets are then cleaned weekly. Children bring their personal blankets to sleep on and then bring them home to be washed weekly or as needed.
LPA observed that each child has an individual cubby that is properly labeled with their name and photo. All emergency equipment is secure. According to the director, the center currently has no children with medications. However, when children are taking medication, the center has a centralized storage location that is inaccessible to children.
All children's toilets and hand washing sinks are in good working order and have proper sanitation. A separate bathroom is available for staff use on the premises. According to the director, there are no pools, spas, or bodies of water on the premises. Furthermore, the director stated that the center has no guns or weapons on site.
The outdoor play areas are kept clean and free of debris, fully fenced, and in good repair. The play structures appear to be safe and sturdy, with additional padding on the ground below for additional safety. There is shade in the outdoor play area, and a bathroom for children to use. Teachers keep a water container and cups in the play yard so children can freely access water during outdoor play.
According to the director, the center provides cold snacks for AM and PM. Children bring water bottles from home that are labeled with their names on them. All storage containers for solid waste/trash within the center have proper, tight-fitting lids. All required postings were visible to the public, including the facility License, Notification of Parent Rights, Personal Rights, Car Seat Law, Emergency Disaster Plan, waiver, and a record of Daily activities.
LPA selected 6 random children's records and 6 personnel records for review during the inspection.
