Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs), T. Tran and A. Carter conduct an unannounced case management visit for the purpose of inspecting the facility playground structure. Upon arrival, LPAs met with Director, Janice Balgemino and tour the outdoor area. All center staff that were present during today’s inspection had fingerprint cleared and associated to the facility.

LPAs observed the playground structure with the manufacture label stated for children ages 5 to 12. For the record, facility was recommended to have the structure re-certify for age appropriateness. Due to health and safety purposes, additional bars were installed both side of the structures preventing from falling. LPAs observed the ground has proper material that absorbs falls.

LPAs observed the side hanging bars were too high to be reach for children ages 2-5. Facility representative agrees to have the side hanging bars remove completely then send photos images to LPAs for the record by 8/23/24.

No deficiency was found during today’s visit. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the facility representative, Janice Balgemino.
