32 | An outdoor waiver has been approved by the Department for the facility to use the outdoor space that is shared with Licensed facility #384002765. However, facility #384002765 ceased operations on November 6, 2019, and now operates as a Heritage School, which is exempt from State licensure. LPA will review the outdoor waiver with management and make any necessary updates to ensure it reflects the current changes. The outdoor play area is regularly cleaned and kept free of debris. It is fully fenced, well-maintained, and in good condition. All outdoor play structures are in good shape and do not have any loose parts, and soft cushioning is placed underneath each play structure to prevent injuries from falls. Additionally, there is a separate area for toddlers, distinct from the preschool children.
All required postings, such as the License, Notification of Parent's Rights, Personal Rights, Car Seat Law, Emergency Disaster Plan, and Daily activities, were posted in the prominent area accessible to parents.
The Center provides breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks. The kitchen area is inaccessible to children. The kitchen areas are clean and free of toxins or contamination. All food is stored correctly to avoid contamination. The facility has water filtration readily available for children indoors and outdoors. All storage containers for solid waste within the Center have a proper tight-fitting cover.
During the inspection, random children's records and personnel records were reviewed. The records review showed that the facility has records of each child's authorized representative, including the names, immunization records, medical assessments, and admission agreements.
Staff records indicate that all staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal records and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. All staff members have a record of valid CPR and maintain proper immunization records. LPA reviewed the Director's and staff's educational qualifications, and all staff had the required ECE units.
The Director stated that the Center conducts fire and earthquake drills monthly; the last drills were conducted on September 5, 2024.
