The CCC operates Monday through Friday spanning from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM. Importantly to note, there are four cohorts of children that attend the CCC. The first group of children are present from 7:00 AM until 8:00 AM, the second group of children are present from 8:00 AM until 11:15 AM, the third group are present from 11:40 AM until 2:40 PM, and the last group of children are present from 2:40 PM until 6:00 PM. At the time of the inspection, LPA observed 5 children in care and 1 additional staff member (cleared and associated).

The classroom of the CCC is clean and orderly. The classroom has age-appropriate equipment and furnishings for children in care. The classroom contains a number of closets and storage spaces all of which contain items, equipment, and other related objects for children in care. The bathrooms, located on school grounds, were found to be clean and orderly. CCC staff informed LPA that children are escorted to the restrooms and that the restrooms are only being used by the CCC children at times of use.

The CCC possesses an operational mini-refrigerator in the classroom that has food items for children and staff. The CCC also has a pantry in the classroom for children’s snacks. Each cohort of children are provided one snack throughout their session. For the AM cohort of children, breakfast is provided by the school, and for the PM cohort of children, lunches are also provided by the school. Like snacks, drinking water is also available for children. When engaged in outdoor play, children also have access to water fountains. Children bring reusable water bottles from home, however, cups are also available on site for children in care.

CCCs constructed before 1/1/20, are supposed to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before 1/1/23, and then every 5-years except after the date of the first test. For child care center licenses issued after 7/1/22, the licensee shall test their water for lead within 180 days of (CONT. LIC 809-C, Page 2)

• Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

• Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

LPA observed snack menus, daily routine schedules, required notices, and other relevant licensing documents posted prominently in the classroom. At the CCC, children's sign in and sign out sheets are completed on paper and through Discover Champions (online application). LPA found that the CCC completed their most recent disaster drill on 3/25/26. Facility Representative informed LPA that the CCC conducts disaster drills at least once every six months.

In the classroom, a carbon monoxide detector was tested at 12:18 PM and was found to be operational. The CCC's smoke detectors were not tested by the LPA as the CCC's smoke detectors are integrated into the classroom's fire detection systems. In the classroom, cleaning supplies are stored beneath the sink in a locked cabinet and in an elevated shelf above the sink. Sharps, like scissors, were observed to be placed in an elevated cabinet. A lockbox for medication is stored in an elevated classroom cabinet. LPA also viewed a First Aid Kit backpack in the CCC. The First Aid Kit backpack was observed to contain appropriate supplies like hydrogen peroxide, band aids, and other appropriate supplies.

As mentioned prior, the CCC uses the school playground for outdoor play. The outside playground area is enclosed by chain linked fencing throughout. The fence’s entry and exit gates in the yard are secure and furnishings in the area are age appropriate. The play equipment is free of sharp, loose, or pointed objects. The play structures in the outdoor playground areas have adequate cushioning to absorb falls (wood chips). The surface of the outdoor playground area is varied. The areas are made up of asphalt, concrete pavement, and natural grass. Shade is provided by large trees near the field. In the outdoor area, LPA observed swings and sizable play structure. Site Supervisor informed LPA that the play structure is not currently being used as a portion of it broke last week. The portion was observed to be blocked off with caution tape. Site Supervisor informed LPA that children only have access to a portion of the blacktop and grass area which allows for better supervision of the children. Facility Representative attested to LPA that children are always supervised while outside and that the outdoor area is inspected prior to letting children outside.

A sampling of staff and children's records were reviewed. The children’s records were complete and were found to contain emergency contact information as well admission agreements, among other relevant licensing documents and forms. Staff records were reviewed and contained current pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications (EMSA approved) and Mandated Reporter Training certificates among other relevant licensing documents. LPA confirmed that there are no bodies of water, firearms, or ammunition that are on site. (CONT. 809-C, Page 3)
