An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on 02/08/2024 from 11:00am to 1:15pm. There were 11 children ages 3 years old to age 5 years old supervised by 2 staff and 1 volunteer. The physical plant, outdoor playground area, programming, attendance, menus, 3 staff records, 3 children?s records, 1 medication with corresponding authorization records, emergency drills, injury reports, emergency supplies, and policies were reviewed. Children were observed participating in free play, reading, literacy activities, art, nap and lunch. Handwashing procedures were also observed. At the time of inspection the current classroom was measured to determine the max capacity for the classroom and an additional classroom was also measured for a modification request related to capacity. The new classroom contained enough age-appropriate toys, equipment and furniture. There was an adequate number of staff present with current certification in Medication Administration Training (MAT), CPR and First Aid, and Daily Health Observation (DHO) training.
