An unannounced subsidy health and safety inspection was conducted on March 4, 2024 from approximately 11:00 am to 12:45 pm. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, personnel, household members, physical environment and equipment, emergencies, caregiver training, preventing the spread of disease and nutrition. The provider record, 2 caregiver records, 1 household member record, and 6 children?s records were reviewed. All areas of the home were observed and areas where the children are cared for were inspected. There were 6 children in attendance for a total of 16 points. The children were observed eating snack, playing in the playroom, and taking a nap, while the inspector was on the premises.
A complete licensing inspection was also conducted on this date; the two inspections combined cover all subsidy health and safety requirements. Only subsidy requirements that are not covered in the licensing standards are reviewed during this supplemental inspection.
The information gathered during the inspection determined violations with applicable standards or law.
Violations were issued.
Please complete the plan of correction and date to be corrected for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from today, 03/27/2024.

Your plan of correction should contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s), 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again, and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measure(s).
