The LPA was granted entry by the Director, Karine Leung. The Director was informed of the reason for today's visit by the LPA. Present in the center included the Director, 2 staff members and 16 preschool-aged children. All individuals listed on the facility’s roster have been granted permission to work or be present in a childcare center. The center is operating within its capacity and in accordance with the required ratio of staff to children. The Center was a French Immersion Preschool that ran a preschool program in two classrooms (Front & Back) that were separated by a wall. Hours of operation are Monday- Wednesday, 8.30am – 5.30pm, Thursday - Friday, 8:30 am- 4:30 pm.
LPA assessed the Center for Health and Safety Hazards with the Director. The facility maintains a record of sign-in/out for children via the system called "Lillio", and all parent checked in were accounted for and matched the number of children present. The children’s classroom environment appeared clean and organized, with appropriate heating, lighting, and ventilation. The Center also provided age-appropriate toys, furnishings, and equipment. At the front classroom, LPA observed a stair to the upper level that was barricaded with a gate to make children inaccessible to the upper level. LPA did not observe any pools, spas, or other bodies of water at the facility. According to the Director, no firearms or weapons are present at the Center, and all cleaning materials and potentially hazardous objects are kept out of reach of children. Personnel restrooms are separate from the children, and all solid waste storage containers have tightly fitted lids. The Center also maintains the centralized smoke alarm, fully charged fire extinguisher, and First Aid kit. The Director was reminded to maintain the carbon monoxide detector at the facility. Designated cubbies are available for children to store their belongings. There is sufficient sleeping mattresses for each child, and all mats and bedding are kept in the appropriate location. Per the Director, the facility did not provide food to the children in care.
