An announced mandated initial inspection was conducted from 10:30 a.m. until 12:45. No children were in care. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. The center had the needed supplies, toys and equipment to begin operation for ages infant through school-age. The inspector discussed with the applicant licensee the need for safety procedures and close supervision of children due to the location of the center being on a main thoroughfare.
