The label on the Krylon Lacquer stated, " keep out of the reach of children", and "DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE." 2. In the Toddler Room, GooGone was observed on top of a cabinet close to the file cabinet out of the reach of children but not in a locked place using a safe locking method. The label on the GooGone stated "DANGER!" and "keep out of reach of children and pets".
Plan of Correction:	Teachers have removed or secured all hazardous materials that were found in classrooms. Rooms will be checked after the building is used by other groups/after the weekend.
