Inspector Notes

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on Monday, January 22, 2024, to determine the provider's compliance with licensing standards. The inspector was on site from 12:40pm to approximately 1:35pm. During the inspection, there were a total of four children in care, totaling nine points, in the direct care of one caregiver. The children were observed during rest time. Some of the children were awake and were observed playing quietly with books and toys. All areas used for childcare were inspected. The family day home has age and stage appropriate materials and supplies. The caregiver was observed having positive interactions with the children in care. The first aid kit and non-emergency supplies were inspected and found complete. Two caregivers' records, one household member's record, and five children's records were reviewed.

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.
