On 8/26/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Hanson Leong, made an unannounced annual visit to the Skyline College (Infant) facility. LPA was granted entry by the Program Coordinator, Michelle Amaral. LPA explained the purpose of the visit to the program coordinator. All facility’s staff members have had their criminal background checks cleared by Guardian. During the visit, there were no children present in the facility. Both LPA and the two teachers thoroughly checked the facility for potential health and safety hazards. The facility has a first aid kit that is fully stocked with all of the necessary supplies for treating injuries. Toys, furniture, and learning materials are all age appropriate in all classrooms. LPA observed that the outside furniture and play structures are in excellent condition. Artificial grass surrounds the outdoor play structures, absorbing any accidental falls. Cribs, cots and resting mats are provided for children to use while napping. LPA observed that there were no bodies of water at the facility. All cleaning products, poisons, and other hazardous chemicals have been kept out of reach of children. The facility has smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fully charged fire extinguishers, centralized smoke alarms, and working phones. According to the two teachers, there are no firearms or weapons in the facility. 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). Because there were no children in care at the time, the files pertaining to those children were not reviewed. LPA reviewed the records of three staff members. All required forms were in the staff files. A review of staff records revealed that all staff members are currently certified in CPR and First Aid. lic 8 ***See Page 2 for continuation*** Continued, Page 2 According to the Program Coordinator, the Infant Center simulates fire and earthquake drills every two months.
