LPAs met with Lead Alicia Cardenas and discussed the purpose of the inspection. LPAs along with Lead toured the interior and exterior of the facility. There were 9 children in the care of 4 staff. The purpose of the inspection was to inspect the new outdoor play area. The outdoor play area is fully enclosed with wooden fencing. Age appropriate toys and play equipment were observed. The flooring was observed to be compact dirt. Throughout there are dried weeds and fallen leaves, LPAs informed Lead these items would need to be maintained before licensure. LPAs observed a creek with no water in both the toddler and preschool sides. LPAs discussed with Lead bodies of water and 100% supervision. Shading is provided by large Oak tree canopies mainly on the preschool side. LPAs inquired about shading for the the toddler side. Additional shading will be provided by umbrella and/ or pop up awnings. The entry and exit metal gates were enclosed with bungee cords in place of locks.
