Technical Assistance:

Consultation was given on not using the "bumbo" as it has been recalled as it did not have a seatbelt, ensure sheets are changed when needed and to remove decorations from the back room. Forms such as the Information for Parents, Medication Policy and Walking Permission should be completely filled out before the parent signs them.
