I arrived prior to the end of the school operating day. The purpose of today’s unannounced visit was to monitor applicable child care requirements during the Annual Compliance visit. The last Annual Compliance visit was conducted on 5/22/23. This facility operates with a five-star license, which was issued on 9/7/17. This facility operates on a traditional school schedule. The compliance history for the previous eighteen-month timeframe was 93%. During today’s visit the indoor primary space (cafeteria) and the designated outdoor play area (playground #1) were monitored. Based on the restriction on the license, the playground area was monitored for safety issues only. OBSERVATIONS: The children were operating as two groups. The site manager was also a group leader. I observed the children arriving for after school care. Upon arrival for afterschool care, the children were greeted, and attendance was taken. The following activity areas were set up in the cafteria: music, arts/crafts, dramatic play, cozy area with books, puppets, housekeeping, blocks, math, board games, science, geography, and manipulatives. I observed the children playing in the activity areas, while some children worked on homework assignments. The children ate an afternoon snack of yogurt and cookies. The required information was posted on the Parent Information Board. The site manager stated that none of the children had a food allergy or were on medication. INCDENT REPORTS: The site manager stated that no incidents had occurred to put in the incident log. CHILDREN’S RECORDS: Eleven children’s files were reviewed for the required health and safety requirements. STAFF FILES: During the visit I reviewed staff files for on-site requirements.

Please send me a signed Corrective Action letter by 6/5/24, stating how the violation cited today has been corrected. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE was provided in the following topic areas: OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT: This facility has the following restriction on their license: PLAYGROUND AREA DOES NOT MEET CHILD CARE STANDARDS. The outdoor environment was monitored today for safety concerns only. The director stated that the afterschool children were still restricted from using the fall zones area with swings, based on openings in the rubberized fall zone mats. It was determined that the playground restriction needed to remain on the license. I requested that the site manager continue to keep the administrator and school principal updated, because it appeared that the distance between the rubberized mats was getting wider in the fall zone for the swings. RATED LICENSE: The Rated License three-year reassessment process has resumed. This facility is in Cohort I for reassessment. The assessment prep year for Mangum SAC Club began on 7/1/23. The assessment year will begin on 7/1/24. Technical Assistance on the Rated License reassessment process was provided and documented during the 1/4/24 visit. The site manager stated that she had submitted the request for the SACERS-U assessment to the site manager. The site manager further stated that she was expecting the assessors to conduct the SACERS-U any time between now and the end of the school year on 6/7/24. I stated that I have not received the request form, and the SACERS-R had not been requested for this facility. The site manager stated that she would follow-up with the administrator. I stated that if the facility wants a “prep year” assessment, the request must be submitted to me immediately. CONTACT INFORMATION: Please contact me if I can be of any assistance to you.
