Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on Thursday, February 20, 2020 to determine the center's compliance with licensing standards. The inspector arrived at 8:48 AM and concluded the inspection at 12:10 PM. The census for today's inspection consisted of 23 children. During the inspection, children were having story time, learning about colors, comparing big and small beans, singing, reviewing the days of the week and the months of the year, participating in a flannel board story, taking bathroom breaks, washing hands and eating snack. Children's equipment, learning materials, indoor and outdoor space, restrooms, first aid kit and the nonmedical emergency supplies were reviewed. Medication is administered and medication, authorization forms and allergy plans were reviewed. The provider stated that transportation is provided and the vehicle and transportation documents were reviewed. Five children's records and five staff records, annual fire and health inspections, fire drill, lockdown drill and shelter in place drill logs, daily attendance and all required postings were reviewed.

The director and another member of management were available for the inspection and were present at the exit interview at which time inspection findings were reviewed and an Acknowledgement of Inspection form was signed and left with the licensee. Violations were cited and can be found in the violation notice.

Please complete the ?plan of correction? and ?date to be corrected? for each violation listed on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from receipt. Your plan of correction should contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s); 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again; and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measures. Please do not use staff names; list staff by positions only.

If you have any questions regarding this inspection, please contact the licensing inspector, Heather Dapper, at (804) 662-7014.
