An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted today from 10:00am-12:15pm. There were 50 children (infants-5yrs.) supervised by 16 direct care staff. The physical plant, 4 staff records, 5 children?s records, medications, evacuation drills, injury reports, emergency supplies, and policies were inspected. Children were observed painting, exploring different sensory items in the sensory table, playing a counting apples game, and engaged in a variety of other activities. There was an abundance of books, toys, and materials, which were found to be developmentally appropriate for the children in care at the time of inspection. Areas of non-compliance are identified in the Violation Notice.
