Inspector Notes

An unannounced monitoring visit was conducted. Seven children were in care with two caregivers for twenty points which is within ratios for supervision. Dedicated space in the basement of the home with 2 large areas and a sleeping room. Observed children in free play, blocks, transition to lunch (turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and milk) as well as physical space, a sample of records, trainings and emergency preparation. Stressed to the provider to develop a system to keep records updated and complete. 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. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance.
