Observed children transitioning from snack (popcorn chicken, melon, roll and milk) to tutoring and reading. No injury forms have been completed since the previous visit. Two emergency medications were on-site with 3 staff having current Medication Administration Training (MAT) certification. All staff have First Aid and CPR training. Bathrooms were equipped with required supplies. No new staff since the previous visit.
