Comments:

An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted today with the provider, who was present with an assistant and 8 daycare children. The children were napping during the inspection. The ages of the children ranged from 2 to 4 years. The provider reported that no child had medication on site and there have been no injuries/accidents requiring first aid or needing documentation. The provider reported that for lunch, the children were provided grilled cheese, turkey, tossed salad, apple sauce, wheat bread and milk. Four children and three household member's files were reviewed today. The areas of non compliance is outlined on the violation notice. I will need copies of all of the missing background checks prior to submitting your file for licensure. Please forward the background checks as soon as you obtain them.
