Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The Annex building is on the lower part of a slope. A contracting company was contracted to build up the curbing in front of the building to redirect the water away from the building when it rains. The work began 9/30/19 & will be completed by 11/1/19. The flooring around the toilet on the upper level of the building was "reconstructed & built with a lip" to prevent water from an over flowed toilet from seeping. A new drain will also be installed by our maintenance dept. The carpet in the preschool room is scheduled for cleaning by 11/30/19. When a future heavy rain/toilet overflows, the repairs & new construction will be assessed to see if they effectively prevent water in the preschool classroom. In the future, all facility surfaces will be clean, in good repair & free from visible surfaces and conditions at the facility will not pose a threat to the health or safety of the children. Additional repairs or construction will be done, if needed to provide a safe learning environment for the children. |
