Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on Wednesday, October 23, 2019 to determine the center's compliance with licensing standards. The inspector arrived at 9:15 am and concluded the inspection at approximately 12:10 pm. A center?s volunteer assisted the inspector throughout the inspection. The census for today?s inspection consisted of 27 children in the direct care of 3 staff and one volunteer. Upon the inspector's arrival, the children were observed during circle time where they were reviewing a lesson on living and non-living things. The children were observed participating at various times and engaged with their peers and staff. The children were later observed outside in their respective playground. The playground area was inspected and found to be in compliance. The classrooms are decorated with the children's artwork and are equipped with age and stage appropriate materials. The center had the following posted: license, daily schedule, emergency numbers, evacuation maps, menu and various parent information. The center's first aid kit and non-emergency supplies were inspected and found complete. Five children's records, one volunteer record, and four staff records were reviewed during today's inspection. Per staff, there are no medications onsite at this time.
