There were no children in care at the time of the inspection. The daycare was sufficiently supplied with toys and equipment for children. Information gathered during the inspection determined there were areas of non-compliance with applicable standards or laws reviewed. A recommendation for approval as a child care subsidy vendor cannot be made until the background checks are completed, and copies sent to the inspector for verification.
