An unannounced Code Compliance inspection was conducted with the Director on 4/24/24 from 9:10am to 10:50am. There were 29 children in care, ranging in age from 18-months to six-years-old, supervised by five staff. Children were observed playing in structured learning centers. The required postings and classrooms were observed. Five child records and six staff records were reviewed for required documentation. The program met the requirement for staff on-site with current CPR/First Aid training as well as having a staff trained in Daily Health Observation.
