32 | The indoor space was clean, safe, and well-maintained. The floors were in good condition with no tripping or slipping hazards. Toy bins had smooth edges, air flow, and finger-safe lids. Each child had a clearly labeled storage area. The bathrooms met the required ratio of one toilet and one sink per fifteen children. All toileting areas, including sinks, walls, and floors, were cleaned and disinfected on a routine schedule.
Cleaning products and chemicals were stored in locked cabinets, away from food and out of children’s reach. Floors were mopped, carpets were vacuumed daily, and trash cans had lids. The indoor temperature measured 68°F.
LPA reviewed five children’s files. All files were complete and included the Admission Agreement, Identification and Emergency Information (LIC 700), Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment (LIC 627), Physician’s Report (LIC 701), immunization records, Personal Rights (LIC 613A), Notification of Parent’s Rights (LIC 995A), and Pre-admission Health History.
The facility roster and sign-in/out sheets were reviewed through PROCARE. All entries used full legal signatures and showed times.
Three staff files were reviewed. Each file contained Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification, Mandated Reporter Training, job application, health screening, child abuse reporting acknowledgment, employee rights form, and proof of educational qualifications. LPA reminded the Site Director that Mandated Reporter Training must be renewed every two years and that at least one staff member must always hold current CPR/First Aid certification. LPA also advised that aides and assistants must stay under the direct supervision of a qualified teacher, except during naptime or when children are using the restroom.
During the outdoor inspection, LPA observed that walkways, ramps, and stairs were clear of hazards. The play yard had proper shade and was arranged to reduce injury risks. The outdoor area was fully enclosed with a fence at least five feet high. The yard was free of debris, hazards, and bodies of water.
First aid supplies were stored in an area accessible to staff but out of children’s reach. Site Director was reminded that first aid kit shall include a first aid manual, bandages, scissors, adhesive tape, thermometer, tweezers, and antiseptic solution.
