At approximately 11:01, LPA’s Li and Solorio Campos entered the outdoor play area and observed the playground yard to be fully fenced. The outdoor surface and equipment was observed to have some hazards and children’s equipment to have sharp, lose and pointed parts. LPA’s observed a play house that was knocked over and broken as well as part of the fencing around the perimeter of the play yard that was broken and fallen/placed inside the play area. Per director, the children have not utilized the outdoor play area due to the recent fires in the area and the health departments guidelines which have restricted children’s outdoor play. Per Director, the facility provides lunch by utilizing a food vendor. The parents bring snacks for the children from home. LPA’s informed licensee that any food brought from the children's homes, the container shall be labeled with the child's name and properly stored or refrigerated. For water drinking children bring their own water bottles and licensee provides additional water. The facility was observed to be free of flies, other insects, and rodents. The following documents were posted in a prominent, publicly accessible area at the facility: Facility License, Notification of Parents' Rights (PUB 393), Personal Rights (LIC 613A), Menu, and Earthquake Preparedness (LIC 9148). PUB 269 Child Passenger System Poster, and Daily Schedule. LPA’s reviewed the children’s roster, children’s files and staff files and observed the files to be complete.
