On 11/08/2021 at 8:30am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabina Dodoo and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Chandra Charles, met with center Director Tywanda Bartlow for an UNANNOUCED ANNUAL REQUIRED INSPECTION. Present for the inspection were 4 teachers who are all fingerprint cleared and associated, and 39 children were present in 3 different classrooms. The classrooms were within ratio. LPA provided licensee a copy of form LIC 126. The Child Care Center was toured to conduct a Health and Safety Inspection. The facility currently operates Monday through Friday from 6:30am to 6pm. The facility also has an infant component with license number 013412607 and school age component with license number 013412606.
The pre-school childcare center is a single-story building with 4 classrooms located on The KinderCare Learning Center campus. Classroom 1 is called Discovery Classroom, Classroom 2 is called Pre-A, Classroom 3 is called Pre- Kindergarten, and Classroom 4 is not being used at this time. LPA (Sabina) observed the classroom to be neat with proper ventilation and materials equipped to care for the children. Children and parent(s) enter through the front door that has a doorbell and is locked when parents are coming to drop or pick up the children. The children get their temperatures checked and the parents sign in on a sign in sheet. In the classroom the teachers have a KinderCare app that also signs in the children to notify who is present in the classroom. LPA observed the bulletin board (parent’s rights, emergency disaster, earthquake drill, schedule, facility menu(outdate), personal rights and facility license are posted). The facility menu was outdated, and the facility was given a Technical V(Technical Violation). The Child Care regulation states a current menu must be posted in the facility at least one week in advance where a child representative can have access to the menu. A Technical A(Technical Advisory) citation was also given to this facility due to a play shed where bicycles are stored under a wooden structure with pieces of wood coming off the structure and there is water damage around the structure.
