The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced Subsidy Health and Safety Inspection on June 5, 2019 to review supplemental health and safety requirements. The inspection was initiated at 9:35 am and completed at approximately 2:40pm. The center's director, assistant director, and executive director were present and assisted the inspector throughout the inspection. The census for today's inspection consisted of 88 children in the direct care of 18 staff. Upon arrival, the children were engaged in a variety of activities. The inspector observed and inspected each classroom and completed formal observations throughout. The children in the Preschool IA room were observed during free-play, dancing, interacting with peer and staff. The children in the Pre-K A were observed during a teacher-led art activity called "Sea Animal Matching." The theme of the week is Oceans. The children were also observed as they practiced writing their name. The children in the Preschool IIB room were observed as they prepared to go out to the playground. The staff were observed doing head-counts as they exited the classrooms. The children in the Twos A room were observed during "choice time." The children in the Preschool IIA room were observed during an art activity and free-play.

The children in the Infant A room were observed interacting with staff, sleeping, and being fed. The children in the Infant B room were observed playing on the carpet, interacting with staff, and having a story read to them. The playgrounds and three vehicles were inspected. 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. Three medications and medication authorizations were reviewed. Eight children's records and eight staff's records were reviewed.
