An unannounced Renewal inspection was conducted on 6/3/2024 from 10:45am-12:45pm. At the time of entrance, 8 children, ages 5 months to 5 years old, were in care with 2 caregivers present. The sample size consisted of 5 children?s records and 2 caregiver records. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. Children were observed engaged in free play with a variety of toys and construction materials, socializing, toddling and crawling, sleeping in a crib, being held and cuddled, eating lunch which consisted of ham, mashed potatoes, grapes, wheat bread and milk. Children were observed settling onto their cots for rest time after lunch. Medication is not currently being administered to children in care and children are not routinely transported in a vehicle while in care. 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. Repeat violations were found and are identified within this report.

The record for child #3, whose enrollment date was documented as 5/8/2024, and child #4, whose enrollment date was documented as 6/13/2022, each contained a physical form and immunization record which had been printed, but was not signed or stamped by a licensed physician, the physician's designee, or an official of a local health department.
