Technical Assistance:

Staff should be assessing fall zones and resilient surfacing at every use and if the space is not in compliance then the center should place the space/equipment off limits until brought into full compliance. Clear signage and caution tape can be used to clearly indicate that the space is off limits.

Comments:

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted with the Assistant Director from 11:45 am to 1:15 pm. There were thirty five children present with four staff. Two groups of children were in the process of eating lunch at the beginning of the inspection while the third group of children were napping. The ages of the children ranged from 2 to 4 years. Lunches are brought from home. The children were engaged in talking to their peers and teachers as they ate. Seven staff files were reviewed as well as five children's files. One child had medication onsite along with an allergy care plan. The areas of non compliance are outlined on the violation notice.
