The children were observed playing with manipulatives, eating snack, and other organized activities. A complete inspection of the physical plant, child and staff records, fire drill log, and emergency procedures were observed during this inspection. No medication on sight at the time of inspection. The information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility.
