There are two outdoor areas designated for children, one in the front and one in the rear of the building. The outdoor play area in the front is fenced with a wrought iron fence that is at least four feet tall and the outdoor play area in the rear is fenced with a wooden fence that is at least 4 feet tall. Staff will provide supervision to ensure children under the age of 18 months will not be using the play structure in the front outdoor play area. LPA observed a sufficient amount of age appropriate equipment and toys. There are shaded areas supplied by surrounding buildings, trees, and an umbrella in the front outdoor play area and rear outdoor play area.
The front outdoor activity area contains a total of 2,026.68 square feet and the rear outdoor area contains a total of 404.2 square feet, for a total outdoor area of 2,430.88 square feet, which will not accommodate the applicants request for 64 children.
Facility staff was reminded any construction or equipment that could pose a hazard in the outdoor activity areas shall be made inaccessible to children in care. This shall include, but not be limited to, incinerators, air- conditioning equipment, water heaters, and fuse boxes. Director and staff were reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, except as specified in Health and Safety Code section 1596.871, 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 for a maximum of 5 days or, if the penalty is for a repeat violation, for a maximum of 30 days per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated. Applicant Ting Shen and director Mia Li were informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org website; a consumer education website that helps families obtain child care by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.
A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with applicant Ting Shen and Director Mia Li. The following is required before a license for a capacity increase will be issued:
· Updated LIC 200A with new capacity
· Approved Waiver for outdoor play areas
· Final LPM Approval
