Inspector Notes

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on 7/13/2023 from 10:05am to 12:35pm. At the time of entrance, 120 children were in care with 20 staff members present. Children were observed washing hands, being held, walking in the hallway to go outside, playing outside, preparing for a field trip to the park, playing in centers and playing with table toys. Infants were observed playing outside, having diaper changes, washing hands, during tummy time, sleeping in cribs and playing on the floor. A selection of staff and children records, medications, the physical space, evacuation drills, allergy action plans and attendance records were reviewed. The site was clean, organized and contained an abundant supply of developmentally appropriate materials. Walls, bulletin boards and several other areas of the programming space was decorated with artwork, crafts and projects completed by the children. Interactions between the children and staff were positive. Areas of non-compliance are identified in the violation notice.
