25 | On January 23, 2025 at approximately 8:30am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Catrina Quimbo conducted an unannounced, annual inspection. LPA met with site supervisor, Claudia Montepeque, and explained the purpose of the visit.
Preschool program operates in Classroom A and Classroom B. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm. In conjunction with annual inspection is a case management visit. Program previously reported to department an unusual incident in regards to a water leak in classroom B.
Present during LPA's visit included 33 preschool children, 7 teaching staff (including site supervisor), volunteer and ABA specialist. Classroom A included 17 preschool children with 2 teachers and 1 teacher assistant. Classroom B included 16 preschool children with 1 teacher, 2 teaching assistants, and 1 volunteer. Preschool program is operating within capacity limits and ratio. Teaching staff (including volunteer) present have fingerprint clearance on file.
With site supervisor, LPA inspected classrooms and outdoor area for health and safety hazards. LPA observed classrooms to be clean. LPA observed exit doors to classrooms to have a sound alarm/doorbells installed. There are carpets in the classrooms that are free of stains. Per site supervisor, carpets are vacuumed daily.
LPA observed classrooms to be equipped with a variety of children's toys and materials that are in good condition. Classrooms include activities for housing/dramatic play, writing, quiet area, manipulative, science and arts and crafts. LPA observed cleaning solutions and chemicals to be made inaccessible in classrooms' high shelves. LPA observed cabinets and drawers in each classroom to have child safety locks installed.
Storage for children's belongings are located inside the classroom, labeled with children's names and numbers. Children sleep in each classroom on cots or mats. Sheets are provided by the program that are laundered weekly or as needed. Children's individual blankets are stored appropriately and are also sent home weekly for laundering. LPA observed floor mats to be stored appropriately, so sheets are not touching each other. LPA also observed floor mats to be color coded so a specific side of the mat touches the floor only. LPA observed both cots and mats to be appropriately labeled with either children's names or the child's specific number.
