25 | On Monday, 10/03/2022, Licensing Program Analyst Jennifer Velasco (LPA) met with Facility Representative Carrie Huppert for an unannounced annual inspection. At 11:50 AM, LPA toured the facility including all activity and classroom spaces, restrooms, and outdoor play areas. Census included 14 children in care with three staff. Facility Representative was reminded never to exceed the conditions, limitations and capacity specified on the license. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
Facility Representative was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
The classroom appeared clean including the carpets and floor. Chemicals and cleaning materials were kept inaccessible to children. Playground equipment and surfaces were inspected and are in good condition with enough resilient material under climbing structures to absorb a fall. There are no firearms or bodies of water on the premises and the facility has at least one functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detector. LPA observed the appropriate postings were visible to parents and children were signed in and out of the center. LPA observed children had individual water bottles inside and outside the classroom. Children bring lunch from home and snacks are provided by the school.
At 12:40 PM, all present staff files were reviewed. LPA reviewed staff transcripts and observed all staff being utilized as teachers were qualified. LPA observed a current Mandated Reporter certificate for each staff and Representative was reminded the certificate must be renewed every two years. LPA observed proof of immunizations for the staff and all required documentation was present in the files. At least one staff had a current Pediatric CPR and First Aid certification that expires 2023. LPA observed a sample of children's files and observed all required documentation was present in each file. |
