25 | On September 5, 2024 at approximately 8:15am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Randy Miranda arrived unannounced for an annual inspection for compliance to Health and Safety. LPA could not enter the school grounds due to a keypad-numbered lock. LPA contacted Director Perez via telephone, for permission to enter through the gate. At 8:25am, a school teacher arrived and allowed LPA to enter and setup inside the Director’s office. Present for the inspection was the site director Juana Perez, 4 teachers, and 18 children in care (all preschool age). The facility is in ratio today.
At approximately 8:45am Director Perez arrived and met with LPA. Director provided LPA with Childrens Roster; Staff Files; Children's files; Sign in/out sheets; and fire drill logs. At approximately 9:20am LPA and Director toured the facility. Classrooms have trash cans with tight fitting covers for the disposal of solid waste. Each classroom has functioning cold-water sinks with adequate soap and paper towels.
The facility has 5 classrooms (3 are not in use at this time), a small kitchen/food prep area; 2 children’s bathrooms; a Chapel; and outside playground area surrounded by a 6-foot chain link fence. There are sturdy play structures, LPA observed that all play equipment is in safe condition and free from sharp, loose or pointed parts and the areas around or under high climbing equipment has appropriate cushioned material that absorbs a fall.
There is water available for the children and they also bring their own bottled water to school. Shade is available in the playground area and teachers are always present when the children are outside. Children’s bathrooms are available and contain enough towels and soap supplies.
