Comments:

The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced monitoring inspection on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 to determine the center's compliance with licensing standards. The inspection was initiated at 09:40am and concluded at approximately 12:05pm. The center's director was present and assisted the inspector throughout the inspection. The census for today's inspection consisted of 10 children in the direct care of 2 staff members. The director and one additional staff were on site during the inspection. Upon the inspector's arrival, the children were playing in different centers. The children were observed during free play. Some of the children were observed during teacher-led small group activities. Later, the children transitioned into a group activity. The staff read stories, sang songs, and the children followed along. Staff were observed having positive interactions with the children. The classrooms are decorated with the children's artwork and are equipped with age and stage appropriate materials. The required postings and required practice drills were observed and found to be in compliance. The first aid kit and non-emergency supplies were inspected. Five children's records and five staff records were reviewed. Per the director, the center does not administer medications at this time. The center has CPR, First Aid, Daily Health Observation, and MAT trained staff on site. The menu was posted and today's lunch consisted of ravioli, cheese, carrots, bread, bananas, and milk.
