Comments:

An announced Subsidy Health and Safety Monitoring inspection was conducted on 2/18/19 from 9:30 a.m. until 11:15 a.m. Inspections are normally unannounced, however, there are no children currently enrolled for care in the home, so the inspector arranged a time that the vendor would be home and available for inspection. The records sample size consisted of 3 previously enrolled children?s records and 2 vendor / caregiver / household member records. The home was inspected - to include the main daycare room, the kitchen where children eat meals and snacks and the restroom used by children in care. When the children play outdoors, they utilize the side yard with direct supervision and close proximity of the vendor. The vendor states that on occasion, she may administer over the counter medication with written parent authorization and may on occasion transport children to or from the home in a vehicle. Requirements for transportation, to include the use of child safety restraints for children under 8 years old were reviewed today. The vendor reports that there have been no accidents or injuries requiring first aid or medical treatment incurred by children in care since the last inspection. There are no children currently enrolled who have diagnosed food allergies. Areas of non-compliance are identified on the violation notice. Thank you for your time during today's inspection. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of assistance.
