25 | On this day, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brannon met with Instructor Coordinator, Traci Triplitt. This facility has been inactive and has been placed on active status. Day care children will be starting on 8/9/21. This facility provides a full-time and part-time session. Hours of operation is Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Facility is located on the Madera Community College Campus on Ave 12.
LPA inspected and measured the classroom. Approximate square footage is 887. This will accommodate the current capacity of 24 preschool children. The following items were discussed and need to be addressed before the children arrive on Monday, August 9, 2021. Photographs of correction will be emailed to LPA Brannon:
1) Remove or anchor the art open shelving unit that measures 4'11' high, 4'11" wide and 1'4" depth. This piece of furniture should be either removed or anchored. There are glass bottles on the top that can fall when a child runs into it, stumbles into it or if there was an earthquake. This is a health and safety concern. Per Ms. Triplitt, this item will be removed until staff can anchor the art shelving unit. LPA informed Ms. Triplitt and lead teacher that glass should not to be placed on top of this shelving unit.
2) There is five pieces of shelving made with dark finish. There are four cubes and one shelving unit. Theses pieces are not anchored and can be tipped over. Per Traci, these five pieces of furniture will be reconfigured or will be anchored.
3) Licensee will provide water pitchers with disposable cup dispensers and disposable cups for uncontaminated drinking water for children in care. These items will provide drinking water for inside and outside.
4) The outside climbing structure has dirt and spider webs. Per Ms. Triplitt, the climbing equipment will be cleaned before the children arrive on Monday.
