Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted Thursday, January 16, 2020 to determine the center's compliance with licensing standards. The inspector arrived at 10:15 AM and concluded the inspection at 12:45 PM. The census for today's inspection consisted of 46 children. During the inspection, children were having story time, singing songs, writing letters of the alphabet, learning about shapes, working puzzles, having group time, taking bathroom breaks, washing hands, eating lunch and napping. Children's equipment, learning materials, indoor and outdoor space, restrooms, first aid kit and the nonmedical emergency supplies were reviewed. The classrooms are decorated with children?s art work and equipped with age and stage appropriate materials. Medication is administered and medication, authorization forms and allergy plans 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 was available for the inspection and was 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.
