Comments:

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted from 1:15 - 2:45pm with the provider and her two assistants. There were 11 children in care, ranging from one month to three years of age, for a total of 36 points. Children were observed napping, waking, and playing with age-appropriate toys. Five child records, five caregiver/household member records, the emergency drill log, daily attendance, and the required posted information was reviewed. It was reported that there were no medications on site, however the provider has current certification in Medication Administration Training (MAT). Please complete the columns for "Plan of Correction" and "Date to be Corrected" for each violation cited on the violation notice, and then return a signed and dated copy to the licensing office by 4:00pm on Wednesday, 4/5/2023.
