25 | A required annual inspection of the facility was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amy Strother. The facility file was reviewed prior to this inspection. A review of the personnel report on file indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Licensee 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 center is a preschool with a toddler component. During the inspection Licensee Renee Taylor (L1) stated that the toddler component is not currently being used and no children under 2 years old are enrolled. Children of different age groups have separate activity areas available. The facility’s operating hours are 8:00a.m. - 5:00p.m., Monday-Friday, year-round. The facility was toured inside and outside, and the floor and yard plan submitted by the licensee were verified. Sign in/out records were reviewed and in compliance. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds and medications) were observed to be inaccessible to children in cupboards above children's reach in the kitchen area. L1 stated there are no poisons in the facility, and none were observed during this inspection. LPA observed the toys, floors, desks and other equipment and surfaces are clean, toxic free, safe, and in good condition. There is uncontaminated drinking water available to children both indoors and outdoors by use of paper cups and the sink or drinking fountain outdoors.
