Infant care was observed and older children were observed heading outside to play on the playground, having diaper changes, listening to stories, preparing for and eating lunch, and napping.

Eight child records and six staff records were reviewed, along with the emergency drill log, written daily attendance, written allergy list, five medications and authorization forms, three allergy care plans and the annual fire and health inspections.
