• 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.

As previously mentioned, most of the backyard area is accessible to children in care. This area is fully secure and enclosed by wooden and metal wire fencing. The fence’s entry and exit gates are secure. The footing of the backyard area is made up of the following: concrete pavement, asphalt, natural grass, artificial turf, sand, wood chips, and dirt. Like the interior of the FCCH, childcare toys, structures, and play equipment observed in the outdoor area are age appropriate and are in safe condition. In the yard, shade is provided by various trees, house overhangs, umbrellas, and sail sails throughout. LPA observed one body of water (a jacuzzi) in an inaccessible area of the backyard. The area is enclosed by wooden and metal wire fencing, however, LPA determined observed one of the gates to be open and the integrity of the cover of the jacuzzi to be unsatisfactory in meeting Department regulations. In the backyard, LPA observed multiple structures, most of which are inaccessible. LPA did inspect one of the structures (arts and craft room) and deemed it to be safe and appropriate for children in care. LPA also observed basketball hoops and a sizable trampoline in the yard area. LPA observed a staircase that leads to the trampoline to be removed from the area. LPA reminded the Licensee that a trampoline of that size is not allowable within day care hours. Licensee understood.
