Evidence:
1. An incident/accident report provided by the center on 04/04/2023 stated that on 04/04/2023 Child #1 ?was in her crib for nap. She stood up and cut her finger on the blinds?. The report was signed by Staff #1.
2. On 04/04/2023 Staff #2 showed the inspector on the blind where Child #1 cut her finger on the blind. Staff #2 confirmed that the child could reach the blind from the crib. The inspector observed blood on the metal blinds and the crib to be close enough that an infant could reach the blinds from the crib.

Plan of Correction: Cribs are kept far enough away from the blinds so that children may not reach them from the cribs.
