Based on observation, it was determined that not all areas of the center inside and outside were maintained in a clean, safe, and operable condition

Evidence: In the two-year classroom, the bathroom had screws protruding upward from the base of the toilet that extended approximately 12 thread lengths.
Plan of Correction: The original toilet screws will be cut as requested.
Standard 8VAC20-780-330-B
Based on observation and measurements, it was determined that the slide on the playground did not have the required amount of resilient surfacing underneath and surrounding the structure.

Evidence:
1. The slide requires 6 inches of shredded rubber in front and on all sides of the slide, the shredded rubber was approximately 1-1/2? at the slide exit.
2. There was approximately 3 inches of shredded rubber in the fall zone of the four swings. Six inches of shredded rubber is required in the front and back fall zone of the swings.
Plan of Correction: The rubber mulch will be raked to evenly distribute it to the most used areas. As part of regularly scheduled maintenance, more mulch will be added if needed.
