Inspector Notes

An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted 6/20/2024 from 11:00am to 1:45pm. There were 56 children directly supervised by 10 staff and all classrooms were in ratio. The physical plant, outdoor playground area, programming, menus, 4 staff records, 7 children?s records, 9 medications, emergency drills, injury reports, emergency supplies, and policies were inspected. Children were observed handwashing, eating lunch, playing outside, engaging in movement play with scarves and music, completing puzzles, building train tracks, and completing a writing activity in which children wrote and presented positive qualities their classmates have. Positive interactions between children and staff were observed during this inspection. There was an abundant supply of age appropriate materials for the children and the center was clean and organized. There was an adequate number of CPR/First Aid, Daily Health Observation, and MAT trained staff on site at the time of inspection. Areas of non-compliance are identified in the Violation Notice.
