Comments:

Thank you for your time and assistance with the unannounced renewal inspection conducted on July 18, 2022. The on-site inspection was from 10:42 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. On this date, there were 42 children in the care eight staff. The exceptions to compliance were noted on the violation notice and the risks ratings were noted on the supplemental page. Five staff members' records, two officers' records and five children's records were reviewed. Six classrooms were toured and observations were made in three of those rooms. No medication is being administered at this time. All interactions between children and staff were age appropriate and positive. Some items that were reviewed and observed included: required posted information, injury reports, documentation of evacuation, shelter-in-place, and lockdown drills, emergency supplies, first aid kit, warm water temperature, updated emergency preparedness plan, art activities, puzzles, transitions, lunch, and nap time. Please complete the ?plan of correction? and ?date to be corrected? for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 calendar days from today. You will need to specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Just writing the word ?corrected? is not acceptable. Your plan of correction must 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 preventive measure(s). Please contact your licensing inspector, Chrystal King, if you have questions concerning this inspection, the licensing standards, and/or if I may be of assistance to you at 804-297-4469.
