25 | A required annual inspection of the facility was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amy Strother. The facility file was reviewed prior to this inspection. A review of the personnel report on file indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions. Center Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, 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 up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.
LPA met with the facility’s Center Director, Alia “Jenny” Kenyon. The facility’s operating hours are 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, year-round. The facility was toured inside and outside, and the floor and yard plan submitted by the licensee were verified. Sign in/out records were reviewed and in compliance. The facility uses the 1Core digital system with QR codes or unique PINs for sign in/out. A print out of the sign in system was reviewed by LPA. Items which could pose a danger to children (such as detergents, cleaning compounds and medications) were observed to be inaccessible to children positioned on tall shelves out of reach of children. Director stated there are no poisons in the facility, and none were observed during this inspection. LPA observed the toys, floors, desks and other equipment and surfaces are clean, toxic free, safe, and in good condition. There is drinking water available to children both indoors and outdoors by use of pitchers of water and individually labelled water glasses or cups outdoors. The children's bathroom is in safe and sanitary condition. The center’s isolation area for any child who becomes ill while in care is located in the staff office. LPA observed food prep areas are clean. Food is properly stored and refrigerated as needed. There was no contaminated food observed. Garbage cans containing solid waste have tight fitting lids. Menus are posted in the front entrance of the facility at least one week in advance, as required. LPA observed a working carbon monoxide detector in the facility.
