Based on observation and interview on June 28, 2022, the center did not ensure that diapers shall be disposed in a leak-proof or plastic lined storage system that is foot-operated or used in such a way that neither the staff member's hand nor soiled diaper touches an exterior surface during disposal.
Evidence: Staff was observed, after diapering, disposing of a dirty diaper, in a trash can just outside the door leading to the outside area of the center, which was neither leak-proof or foot operated. The staff was observed using the staff's hand to lift the lid to the trash can and dispose of the diaper. The staff acknowledged the foot-operated pale was not used.

Evidence: In the 3 year old classroom a staff's purse was located on a shelf accessible to children. There were several prescription medication bottles observed at the top of the staff's purse. The staff confirmed the purse was not in a locked cabinet.
