An unannounced Subsidy Health and Safety Inspection was initiated on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 and concluded on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. The inspector was on site from 10:35am to approximately 1:15pm. There were 78 children present and 16 staff members directly supervising. Upon arrival, the children were observed in their designated classrooms engaged in a variety of activities. Some of the children were observed finishing up snack, taking bathroom breaks, playing with other children and interacting with staff. The children were later observed outside in their designated playgrounds. Staff were observed having positive interactions with the children.
