As aforementioned, the CCC possesses a staff only bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen contains an operational refrigerator which contains some food items for staff. This area, again, is off limits for children, however, children pass through this area given the size and set up of the classroom. Children enjoy an AM snack, while children enjoy lunches at home. Filtered water is provided by the CCC via a portable water jug. Children bring reusable water bottles from home, however, reusable cups are also available for children in care in event that a child doesn't have their bottle.

CCCs constructed before 1/1/20, are supposed to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before 1/1/23, and then every 5-years except after the date of the first test. For child (CONT. LIC 809-C, Page 2)

• Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

• Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

LPA observed daily routine schedules, required notices, and other relevant licensing documents posted prominently at the entry way of the classroom. At the CCC, children's sign in and sign out sheets are completed on paper. LPA found that the CCC completed their most recent disaster drill on 3/13/26. Site Supervisor informed LPA that disaster drills are conducted every month.

In the classroom, a carbon monoxide detector was tested at 10:50 AM and was found to be operational. The CCC's smoke detector was not tested by the LPA as the CCC's smoke detectors are integrated into the building's fire detection systems. LPA was informed the building's fire detection systems are regularly tested and monitored by personnel. Cleaning supplies are stored on top of the refrigerator and beneath the kitchen sink in a locked cabinet. Sharps are stored in the kitchen in an elevated cabinet and on top of filing cabinet, out of reach of children in care. There are no medications stored on site as no children currently require medication. Given the event children do require medication, there is a lockbox and an elevated cabinet dedicated to IMS. LPA viewed a number of First Aid Kits in the CCC. The First Aid Kits contained proper supplies.

As mentioned prior, the CCC has access to a large outdoor play yard. The outside playground area is enclosed by secure wooden fencing and chain linked fencing throughout. The fence’s entry and exit gates in the yard are secure and furnishings in the area are age appropriate. The play equipment is free of sharp, loose, or pointed objects. The play structures in the outdoor playground areas have adequate cushioning to absorb falls (sand). The surface of the outdoor playground area is varied. The area is made up of both concrete pavement, rubber foam, sand, and natural grass. Shade is provided by building overhangs and a number of trees in the yard. LPA observed a couple of sheds in the backyard. Each shed was locked and is off limits for children in care. Facility Representative attested to LPA that children are always supervised while outside and that the outdoor area is inspected prior to letting children outside.

A sampling of staff and children's records were reviewed. The children’s records were complete and were found to contain emergency contact information as well admission agreements, among other relevant licensing documents and forms. Staff records were reviewed and contained current pediatric CPR and First Aid certifications (EMSA approved) and Mandated Reporter Training certificates among other relevant licensing documents. LPA observed no bodies of water, firearms, or ammunition on site and confirmed that this was the case with the Site Supervisor. (CONT. 809-C, Page 3)
