Comments:

An initial announced inspection was conducted with the provider from 9 am to 10:45 am. There are no children enrolled at this time, therefore many of the standards were not applied today due to no enrolled children. The primary daycare space is located in the basement and there appears to be adequate supplies and furnishings for the ages of birth through 8 years. The provider has no plans at the moment to transport children or to administer medication. The provider plans to take the children to the community park for outside time. The one crib onsite has a manufacturer date of April 2018 therefore it meets the Consumer Product Safety commission Standards at the time it was manufactured. The areas of non compliance are outlined on the violation notice.
