Comments:

An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted at 10:55am. Observed 8vchildren = 14 points with 2 caregivers. Ratios and supervision were in compliance. Children were learning to hold their pencil and write letters and words, tracing, cutting, gluing, washing hands and eating lunch during the inspection. Lunch included: grilled cheese sandwich, carrots, apples, and milk. Caregivers were actively engaged with the children, leading activities, and promptly tending to the needs of the children. The daycare areas of the home were found to be clean and well supplied with toys and equipment for the children. Areas of non-compliance with standards and laws reviewed were found.
