Comments:

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on 3/12/24 from 9:40am to 10:45am with the Director. There were seven children in care, ranging in age from two to five-years-old, supervised by one staff and one parent volunteer. The children were observed having free play in centers and getting ready to use the restroom and wash hands to go outside to the playground for snack. Four child records and two staff records were reviewed. The Center has two staff with current certification in CPR and First Aid, as well as trained in Daily Health Observation. The Director reported that there were no medications on site for children, but the program has staff who are current in Medication Administration Training (MAT). Required postings were observed. The attendance, menu, and emergency drill log were reviewed. The most recent Fire Inspection on file was dated 9/12/23 and the most recent Health Inspection on file was dated 9/21/23.
