A Subsidy Health and Safety inspection was conducted on Wednesday, June 1, 2022 from 10:00am to approximately 3:00pm. There were a total of 114 children in care in the direct care of 16 staff members. During the inspection, the children and staff were observed participating in a variety of activities. Staff were observed having positive interactions with the children. All areas of the facility used by the children were inspected. The center is equipped with toys and supplies and items were available to the children. The required postings were reviewed and found to be in compliance. Medication is administered when required and medications were reviewed. During the inspection, ten children?s records and ten staff records were reviewed. Additional information was later submitted to the inspector and was reviewed virtually.
