An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted on 3/29/2022. At the time of entrance, 70 children were in care with 16 staff members present. Children were observed making art projects, playing with blocks and playdough, singing and coloring. Infants were observed being fed, sleeping and playing with toys and musical instruments on the floor with their caregivers. The site was organized and contained developmentally appropriate materials. Interactions between the children and staff were positive. A selection of staff and children records, the physical space, emergency supplies, evacuation drills, attendance records, medications and the Emergency Preparedness Plan were reviewed.
