Inspector Notes

An unannounced monitoring visit was conducted with the provider. Three children were in care for eight points which is within ratios for supervision. Children were upstairs upon arrival and then we all went into the basement daycare space. The children were playing with housekeeping materials, dinosaurs and pretend food. Reviewed emergency preparation, transportation, records for provider and children in care as well as physical space. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance.
