As per the director, the outdoor play area is currently undergoing renovation. The construction started on September 19, 2024, and is expected to be completed by October 4, 2024. In the meantime, the children are using the event hall for outdoor activities. The LPA has advised the director to reach out to licensing before making any changes to the childcare areas. Additionally, the LPA mentioned that a case management inspection would be necessary once the outdoor play area renovation is finished.
During the inspection, LPA reviewed records of children and personnel. The records for each child were found to be complete, including their names, addresses, and authorized representative telephone numbers. Each child's file also contains information about their immunization record, medical assessment, and admission agreement. Staff members' records showed that all individuals requiring caregiver background checks had undergone criminal records and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. All teachers possess valid CPR and mandated reporter training certificates. LPA reviewed the educational qualifications of the staff members and confirmed that everyone had completed the required ECE units.
Several teachers were found to be missing MMR vaccinations on their immunization records. The director explained that these teachers were not born in the state and had received the MMR shot in their home country, which is why it did not appear on their records. LPA recommended that the teachers contact their doctors to obtain a written report or lab test confirming their MMR vaccination status. A technical violation was issued.
According to the Director, the Center conducts its fire and earthquake drills monthly, with the most recent drill completed on 9/25/2024. All required postings were posted, such as the License, Notification of Parent's Rights, Notification of Personal Rights, Car Seat Law, Emergency Disaster Plan, and Daily activities.
