Based on observation, areas of the family day home, inside were not maintained in a safe.
Evidence:
1. In the lower lever of the family day home, one electrical outlets did not have cover.
2. Indoor climber equipment had rips in the corners of the material.
Plan of Correction: The one missing outlet cover was an honest mistake. One of the new hires forgot to put it back after vacuuming. Once the inspector pointed it out the provider immediately put it back. The provider spoke with the employees on the importance of putting back the covers. She will also be installing all new automatic close outlet covers to help prevent any further incidents.
The two indoor climbers had two tiny rips that was barely noticeable in the corners but once the inspector bought it to the providers attention she removed the away from the play area so the children to longer had access to the soft climbing equipment.
Standard 8VAC20-800-250-A
Based on observation, the family day home did not ensure appliance cords were out of reach of children under the age five years old.
Evidence:
1. Vacuum cord was plugged in outlet and cord was under table and chairs. During the inspection, children were observed walking over the cord.
Plan of Correction: Prior to the inspection showing up to the daycare we were vacuuming/cleaning and trying to cook lunch when Ms. Nance came for the annual inspection. Lunch time is one of the busiest transition times for the daycare. After Ms. Nance showed up she asked to tour the downstairs play area and the provider just forgot to put the vacuum away before taking the inspector downstairs. Once the inspector and the provider came back upstairs the provider noticed that the vacuum was still plugged in after the providers own child walked over to get to her and the provider immediately put away the vacuum that was in the kitchen and not around the kids in the upstairs play area. The provider will make sure that she doesn't forget to put away any plugged in appliances again.
