“The center is currently on a compliance agreement and part of the agreement is that the center is required to have self closing and self latching gates in the outdoor play area. There are three gates in the outdoor play area. All three gates are closed and secured with a carabiner clip and a twisted metal wire. One of the gates had a bench in front of it that had to be moved to access the gate. One of the gates had a small picnic table in front of it that had to be moved to access the gate. Two of the gates are self closing and self latching properly. The front gate closest to Route 925 is not consistently self closing and self latching properly. There appears to be metal wires from the fencing scraping the concrete. The center has been aware that this gate is inconsistent and has had to have it adjusted and repaired in the past. The center is advised to have the gate adjusted and repaired so it is self closing and self latching properly. Please notify the OCC when this is completed.”

The food was put in sealed containers during the inspection.”

“The center has a large fenced play area. There is one gate on the back side of the fence facing Route 301. There are two gates on the front side of the center, one in the toddler area and one in the main playground area that is facing Route 925. The center has been required to ensure that all three gates are self closing and self latching due to the proximity to two busy roads and as a requirement of the compliance agreement that was established in July 2024. All three gates have a carabiner clip. Two gates also have a gear tie that is tied around the two gates and attached to a ballast pole. The one gate at the front of center where the van parks is not self closing, self latching properly today. The Licensing Specialist tried the gate several times. The gate would not close all the way, then it would close but not latch. The other two gates had a strong pull to close and latch. The front gate did not. There were also privacy panels that slid down and scraped the ground. Once those were adjusted, the gate still did not close and latch properly. Later during the inspection, the gate was tested again. It closed and latched properly twice, but then did not. The fence co was called.”

“The Licensing Specialist observed the outdoor play area, including the fences and gates at the front and the back of the play area. The OCC has required the center, as part of a compliance agreement, to have self closing, self latching gates that are locked. The Licensing Specialist observed the front gate to have a carabiner clip and an orange moldable rope (foam covered piece of wire) "gear tie" as well as a yellow ballard. When the LS removed the gear tie and carabiner clip, the gate was tested and was found to be working properly, as it closed and latched on it's own. The rear gate was observed to have a similar set up, with an orange gear tie and a yellow ballard, but instead of a carabiner clip, there was a rusty piece of wire that was threaded through and tightened. The LS found this wire to be difficult to remove, noting that it may not allow a quick escape in case of an emergency. The LS removed the gear tie and the wire. When the gate was tested, it did not self latch. The LS tried several times. When the gate was wide open it did not close, when the gate was at an angle where it would self close, it still would not latch. The director is advised to repair this.”
