The facility offers a first aid kit that is completely loaded with everything that is required for the treatment of wounds and other types of injuries. Toys, furnishings, and learning materials in all classes are age appropriate. The LPA saw that the playground equipment and outdoor furnishings are in very good shape. The outdoor play structures are surrounded by rubberized cushions, which can cushion any falls that may occur. The LPA noted that there were no bodies of water present at the facility. All poisons, cleaning products, and other potentially harmful substances have been stored in a location that is inaccessible to children. The building is equipped with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers that are properly charged, centralized smoke alarms, and phones that are in working order. The program supervisor has stated that the facility does not house any firearms or other types of weapons. The LPA observed that the facility posted the required documents. (i.e., license, waivers, notification of parental rights, notification of personal rights, car seat law, emergency disaster plan, and daily activities).

According to the program supervisor, the facility simulates and documents fire and earthquake drills monthly. *** See Page 2 for continuation*** Continued, Page 2 The program supervisor 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.
