Comments:

An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted from 9:30 - 10:30 am with the provider and her assistant. There were seven children present, ranging from 18 months to four years of age, for a total of 15 points. Children were observed playing with age-appropriate toys, singing songs, and finishing eating breakfast/morning snack which consisted of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and milk. Two child records and three caregiver records were reviewed along with the daily attendance, emergency drill log, required posted information, menu, ratios and indoor and outdoor space. The provider and both assistants completed First Aid/CPR certification 5/26/2023 but are not certified in Medication Administration Training (MAT) so cannot administer medications to children in care. 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, 8/23/2023.
