Violations
2Evidence:
1. In the four-year-old classroom, the children?s sofa was ripped, exposing the foam filling, across the seat cushion.
2. In the three-year-old classroom, there was chipping paint and two holes in the wall, accessible to children on both sides of the classroom. Around the door frame, a broken piece of the wooden panel was exposed and within reach of the children. A broken electrical socket plate was also identified in the classroom, resulting in plastic rough edges and exposure to wall plaster.
3. On the playground, the plastic panel of the gate was broken in a circular shape with rough edges, large enough for a child to place their hand through.
The room with chip paint and holes was not in use. These repairs have been communicated to landlord. Fixed by 9/25/24.
