25 | On December 12, 2024, at approximately 8.45am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tso made an unannounced required visit to the child care center listed above. The LPA was granted entry by the Site Supervisor, Joshua Berkowitz (Director). The Director was informed of the reason for today's visit by the LPA. Present in the center included 3 staff members and 10 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 facility provides care to the children with three classrooms, namely Cover, Canyon and Meadow. The facility is operating within its capacity and in accordance with the required ratio of staff to children. Hours of operation are Monday- Friday, 8:30 am- 5:30 pm.
LPA assessed the Center for Health and Safety Hazards with the Director. The facility maintains a digital record of sign-in/out for children, and all parents’ signed in records 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. 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 a carbon monoxide detector (tested under working conditions), centralized smoke alarm, fully charged fire extinguisher, and First Aid kit. Designated cubbies are available for children to store their belongings. There is sufficient sleeping equipment and cots for each child, and all mats and bedding are kept in the appropriate location. The facility provides two snacks and lunch daily catered by vendor, Chefables. LPA also observed that the food preparation site is clean, organized, and inaccessible to children.
