Buildings and Grounds
Based on observation during the facility tour, LPA found multiple "Lysol" disinfectant sprays in the 4-4.5 year old classroom. These items were not behind a lock or a latch and were kept in a cabinet which was easily accessible for the age group of children in the classroom. Additionally, there is a classroom which is not in use by children, but children go into to wash their hands. LPA found screws and a screw driver in reach of children. This all poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.

Wading Pools
Based on observation during the tour of the outdoor area, LPA observed 5 wading pools with at least 3 wading pools that still had a few inches of water left in them. Site director stated Tuesdays are their "water play" days and she typically goes out afterwards to empty the wading pools and also put them away. Due to all 3 classrooms having exit doors that lead directly to this area of the facility, this poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care. Children were having lunch during the time LPA found the water in the wading pools.
Plan of correction: Site director was able to immediately dump the water out of the wading pools and store them away. Additionally, facility site director agrees to hold a meeting with all staff regarding Section 101238.5, Wading Pools of Title 22 Regulations and submit proof of agenda to licensing by POC due date.
