Comments:
The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced monitoring inspection on Tuesday, January 28, 2020 from approximately 9:55 AM until 2:00 PM to determine the provider?s compliance with licensing standards. There were 11 children in attendance being cared for by three caregivers. Based on the children?s ages there was a total of 34 points. Upon the inspector?s arrival, the children were observed in the designated area for childcare watching television, playing with toys, and interacting with peers and the caregivers. The children later transitioned to circle time where they were observed singing songs and learning the alphabet. The infants were observed as they were held and fed. Diapering procedures were also observed. The children were later observed taking bathroom breaks, washing hands, eating lunch, and preparing for nap time. The caregivers were observed having positive interactions with the children. The designated areas for childcare were deemed appropriate and are equipped with age appropriate toys and materials to meet the needs of the children. During the inspection, the licensing inspector interacted with staff and children when appropriate. The bathroom, kitchen, outdoor play area, and designated childcare areas were all inspected during today's inspection. The first aid kit and non-medical emergency supplies and required postings were inspected. Five children?s records, three caregivers? records, and one household member?s records were reviewed during the inspection. Medication is not administered and transportation is not provided at this time.

If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact the licensing inspector, Florence Martus, at (804) 662-9772.
