An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted on 2/14/23 from 10:00am to 11:35am with the Assistant to the Head of School and program staff. There were 11 children in care, ranging in age from four-years to five-years-old, supervised by two staff. The children were in music class and French class during the inspection. Four child records, two staff records, and four Board Officer records were reviewed. Both classroom staff have current certification in CPR and First Aid, Daily Health Observation Training, and Medication Administration Training (MAT). There were no medications for children on-site today. The attendance and emergency drill log were reviewed. Required postings, the first aid kit, flashlight, and battery-operated radio were observed.
