32 | The isolation area for sick children will be in the director’s office and isolation equipment will be provided. Staff and children's bathrooms are clean, sanitary, and operable. Cleaning supplies are stored in the kitchen and are inaccessible and out of reach of children. LPAs observed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and appropriate lighting in each classroom. The facility has central heating and air conditioning. LPAs observed that all furniture and equipment indoors are in good condition and safe for the children. Drinking water is readily available for the children indoors via filtered water dispensers and disposable cups. There are 19 tables, 92 chairs, 48 cubbies. There are currently not enough cubbies to meet the requirement for the capacity requested. Facility representatives stated that they will be installing more cubbies as well as splitting the cubbies in half for children.
Facility representatives were reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
LPAs observed that the playground is surrounded by appropriate fencing and resilient material under and around the climbing structures. Shade for the playground is provided by trees and building overhang. There is a pool on campus in an off-limits area. LPAs observed that pool is surrounded by a fence that is higher than 4 feet in height. Facility representatives stated that they plan to allow use of the pool during summer program for children that sign up for swim lessons through “Menlo Swim and Sport.” LPAs discussed the topic and stated this would need to be discussed further before implementation.
