Dear Mr. Welch,
Thank you for taking this time to meet with me on 2/7/08 .
Enclosed you will find an Application for Child Care .Exemption
and an EEC policy statement for the Criteria for Exemption from
Licensing. Please use this policy as a guide to complete your
exemption application. Please return your exemption -request -by _
2/22/08 to my attention.
I will- review -your exemption request and- noEify you whether or
not you meet the definition of an exempt program. As I shared
with you during my visit, as long as you receive either a
license from EEC or an exemption letter from EEC you will sti-11
be eligible for vouchers . .
During my unannounced health and safety visit, I reviewed with
you my concerns regarding the condition of your building. I
have been in touch with the building and health department to
coordinate our efforts in assisting you in addressing these
concerns . EEC views many of these concerns as serious and in
need of immediate attention.
- The roof is leaking in several locations through out the
building. There were no, buckets to catch this water. The
water dripped onto surfaces freely.
- There appears to be mold growing in the pool area on the
shelves, hose, wall etc . Items are not being stored in a
sanitary manner in the pool area.
- The floor is rotting in several areas through out the
program. -
-" All the vents in the program have evidence of dirt and
`possible mold.
- The pool inspection expired on 12/2007.
The building inspection is expired.

- There was a rotting pumpkin on a table in the hallway_ that _
_. -
needed to be immediately removed.
- There were buckets of sand, containers of nails/screws and „
other unsafe items in the hallway.
- The barrier to the kitchen was not being used during the
visit and is insufficient .
- The program has stored items in an unsafe manner. _
- The program is seriously cluttered and dirty which impacts -- -R
the environment negatively and likely has a negative impact _
on potential families who may tour your program.
- Staff do not have evidence of current first aid and CPR.
You were mixing infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in one -
group. ----_--;
You were using the previously licensed preschool room for
infant, toddler,' and preschooler art projects when it was
not set up and safe for child care use. There was a sewing,o`
machine, cleaning equipment, and other 'non child care items--7-----
being stored in this room. The sinks in this room were
dirty and the backsplash was rotting.
- The equipment through out the program is decomposing. The
surface of many tables and chairs was worn away making it
impossible to dis €ect these surfaces ade, a %;.y.
- Two toddlers were observed sitting in a table seat for more
than 30 minutes while the remaining 4 toddlers were allowed .
to play and walk around.
- The program has several turtles and children were observed
picking up the turtles, handling them and not washing their
hands . The Department of Public Health states that
infants, children, the elderly and people with weakened
immune systems should be prevented from touching reptiles
(lizards, snakes, and turtles) and their cages since there
is a risk on contracting salmonellosis . Please see the
enclosed hand out .
EEC appreciates your commitment to your program, the children
and families. Staff appeared to be caring and engaged with, the
children. However, it is important that you address these ,, .
concerns and "upgrade the quality of your facility as it impacts
the health and safety of the children and staff .
Please contact me with. any questions or concerns regarding this
letter. Thank you.

Salem, MA 01970 �--Dear Mr.Mr. McGrath:
We are in receipt of your letter of February 13 citing your remaining concerns. We
wanted to assure you that we are already in the process of addressing these issues.
New hardware for the entry door is on the way; the rubber tree has been trimmed
(please see following photo showing clear line of sight to exit sign); we have smoothed
the exit area outside the kitchen and reduced the potential for tripping—as the ground
thaws we will implement a more ambitious repair. As we discussed, much of the
dripping water was due to condensation from the pool heat: the installation of a new
Pool covci ;see photo) has drarnatica!;y reduced ;„door humidity. Nonetheless, ive &,
taking advantage of breaks in the weather to caulk, patch, and repair to address roof
leaks. We thank you for your understanding, and encourage you to contact us should
you have any further questions or concerns.
Sinc ly,
Daniel P. Welch

Dear Mr. Munroe:
This is in response to your;letter:of_December=3_,:1985 regarding the dumpster
at the Sol`arterre-e-em located at 145 Loring Avenue.
The whole issue dealing with the rodent activity at the Loring Avenue and
Monroe Road area began in May 1985. At that time illegal dumping was taking
place and an extensive accumulation of overgrowth and debris was present.
This. department requested then that all the abutting property owners take
effective measures to correct these problems (see enclosed letter) .
The GTE Corp. (Sylvania) enacted an extensive program with included the
removal of all overgrowth and debris, the erection of a chainlink fence along
Monroe Road and the Loring Avenue property to prevent further illegal dumping,
and landscaping to beautify the area.
Mr. Bruce Dellachiaie of 139 Loring Avenue also removed overgrowth and debris
from his property and conducted landscaping.
The Solarterre-e-em at 145 Loring Avenue has been inspected by this department
on numerous occasions. This facility is licensed as a day care center and a
recreational camp and meets all the requirements of this department as well .as
the state Office For Children. In addition, the Solarterre-e-em holds a valid
permit for its wading pool.
Presently the Solarterre-e-em is under contract with B&B Exterminators of Lynn
to provide monthly service for interior and exterior control of rodents.
On November 18, 1985 an inspection of 145 Loring Avenue by this department
revealed that the dumpster was closed and the area around the dumpster and
building clean with no evidence of rodent activity.

RE: Solar Terre-E-Em, 145 Loring Ave.
Dear Mr. Lockard:
As the attached letter from Mr. and Mrs. Fraser would indicate,
there is a serious problem with rodents caused by the open dumpster
at the Solar Terre-E-Em, 145 Loring Ave. This problem was brought up
at one of Mayor Salvo's neighborhood meetings and'was addressed by you
in a letter dated October 22, 1985 to Patricia Welch, Director of
Solar Terre-E-Em.
Kindly re-investigate this situation and advise Mr. and Mrs. Fraser
and myself of your findings and anticipated action.
Sincerely, r�

Dear Mr. Monroe ,
Persuant to our recent conversation, I would like to register a
complaint concerning the location of the trash dumpster being used
by the Solarterre-e-em Day .Care Center on 145 Loring Avenue. This
complaint is in respect to the city ' s back and side setback re-
quirements,
I understand that said dumpster is considered a permanent structure
since it is not moved on a daily basis. It is currently situated
approximately 1 foot from my 141 Loring Avenue property line and
approximately 3 feet from Sylvania' s land in the rear .
In addition to being a constant source of aggravation (with respect
to 6a.m. and 7 a.m. pick-ups) , it is also causing a considerable
health and sanitary concern as rodent activity in the vicinity is
prevalent 24 hours a day .
The Salem Board of Health has received numerous complaints over the
past 6 months from ourselves and adjacent neighbors . Their response
has been that there was no recourse from a health standpoint and even
sdggested that we should incur the expense and contract an extermin-
ator. We received a copy of a letter from R. Blenkhorn to the Cen-
ter ' s owner , Patricia Welch , dated October 22 , 1985 , in which a
request was made ,that the area be kept clean and the dumpster be
kept closed with a locking mechanism at all times. To date , nothing
has been done to meet this request.
Our lack of satisfaction has led us to this as- w1lat we believe is our
only current course of action and we would appreciate your prompt
attention on this matter .
. Sincerely ,
Mr . & Mrs. Raymond T. Fraser II
