25 | An annual required inspection was made to the facility by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Y. Yang. The facility file was reviewed prior to this inspection. During today's inspection visit, the LPA met with facility director, Lisa Steindorf. A review of the personnel report on 10/21/22 indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. The facility representative was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
This is a combination center with an infant and preschool license with a toddler component. The infant facility’s operating hours are 07:30am-05:30pm. The facility was toured inside and outside and the floor and yard plan submitted by the licensee were verified. The infants are physically separated from the preschool age and school age children in different classrooms. The items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds and medications) were observed to be inaccessible to children. The toys, floors and other equipment are clean, safe and age appropriate for infants. There was a crib available for each infant still napping in a crib. Cribs at the facility are in compliance with the Department's new safe sleep regulations. The vinyl padded changing table is within arm's reach of a sink. A current menu was posted. Food prep areas are clean. Food is properly stored and refrigerated and labeled as needed. There are no poisons or firearms and ammunition stored on the premises. The facility was free of flies, insects and rodents. There is drinking water available to children both indoors in the classrooms and outdoors on the playground. Garbage cans containing solid waste have tight fitting lids. The playground was free of hazards. The playground equipment and surface areas were in safe condition. There is wood chip cushioning underneath climbing structures and/or play equipment to absorb falls. There were no bodies of water observed. During today's inspection, staffing ratios were being met and there were five infants being supervised by two staff members. The facility was operating within the licensed capacity. At least one staff member present during the visit possessed current CPR and First Aid certifications. Five children’s records were reviewed and contained identification forms with authorized representative information, as well as medical assessments, infant 15-minute sleep check logs, and infant safe sleep plans (LIC 9227) when applicable.
