25 | On March 6, 2024, at approximately 2:03 pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tso met with Director Shuying Lin for an unannounced required visit to the child care center listed above. LPA explained the reason for the inspection and was granted access to the facility. This is a combination Center with Infants, and Preschool programs operating in the same building with different licenses. The infant program has 1 teacher supervising two children today. The facility staff-to-child ratios are met. Hours of operation are Monday- Friday, 8:00 am- 5:00 pm.
LPA assessed the Center for Health and Safety Hazards with the Director. Per Director, there are no changes to the existing physical plant. The facility maintains a record of sign-in/out for infants, and all parent signatures were accounted for and matched the number of infants present. The infants' classroom environment appeared clean and organized, with appropriate heating, lighting, and ventilation. The Center also provided age-appropriate toys, furnishings, changing tables, and equipment. LPA did not observe any pools, spas, or other bodies of water, nor did they notice any bouncers, exersaucers, or similar equipment 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 children, and all solid waste storage containers have tightly fitted lids. The Center also maintains a carbon monoxide detector, centralized smoke alarm, fully charged fire extinguisher, and First Aid kit. Designated cubbies are available for children to store their belongings. The diaper changing table has at least 1" thick padding, is covered with disposable paper, and has at least 3" elevated edges. The changing tables are within arm's reach of the sink, and disposable wipes are used to clean after each usage. There is sufficient sleeping equipment and cots for each child, and all mats and bedding are kept in the appropriate location. Food and formula are provided by parents.
The facility has an outdoor waiver approved by the Department that allows no more than 16 children at one time.
