Staff files need better organization.
You need to establish a system that makes sure all children with allergies/sensitivities/dietary restrictions are listed on the written list and you are obtaining allergy care plans for those children with diagnosed food allergies.
Retraining is needed to make sure staff are documenting all the required components of injuries/accident reports.
The playground equipment should be placed off limits if you are unable to maintain an adequate amount and quality of resilient surfacing. In order to place off limits you want to make it clear that the non compliant area is not being used therefore you should use signage and caution tape to indicate non usage.
There were a number of repeat violations at this inspection. greater attention is needed to make sure you correct those areas immediately.
During the walkthrough the children in the 3 year old classroom were exhibiting some challenging behaviors to include throwing toys and slight roughhousing. Please make sure your teachers in this classroom are addressing the children's needs to include redirecting children to more appropriate activities and if the children are unable to use blocks in a safe manner then they may need to be placed off limits on a temporary basis to ensure they are not being thrown around the room.
