Plan of Correction: The laundry room is now kept locked at all times and is clearly labeled as restricted. All cleaning supplies have been relocated to a locked cabinet mounted at adult height inside the laundry room. A daily safety checklist now includes verification of all hazardous materials being stored securely. Staff have received additional training on maintaining a safe environment, particularly in managing access to utility and supply areas.

Plan of Correction: All topical creams have now been properly labeled with the child?s full name. We?ve introduced a labeling requirement as part of the daily morning check-in and inventory process. Parents have been informed of the labeling policy, and unlabeled products will not be accepted moving forward.

Plan of Correction: We have updated our attendance procedures to ensure that every child present is immediately recorded upon arrival. A new daily attendance checklist has been implemented with an initial and verification step by both the lead and assistant caregivers. We are also conducting a morning attendance cross-check during circle time to ensure accuracy. Staff have been re-trained on the importance of real-time recordkeeping

Plan of Correction: We have reviewed the point system in-depth with all staff and restructured our staffing schedule to ensure ratios and point limits are always met. In the future, no assistant will be left alone without first verifying that the total child point count is within regulation. Additionally, we are implementing a point-count log for transitions and staff breaks to ensure continuous compliance.

Plan of Correction: A complete and up-to-date file has now been created for Child #3, including all required documentation (emergency contacts, immunizations, proof of identity, and enrollment forms). To prevent this in the future, we have implemented a file verification process before a child begins care. Additionally, we now conduct quarterly audits of all children?s records

Plan of Correction: All mentioned files have now been updated to include the required information. We have initiated a full review of every child?s file and created a tracking checklist to ensure that no documents are missing or incomplete. Moving forward, all enrollment packets will be double-checked prior to the child?s start date, and parents will be asked to confirm file completeness during quarterly updates. Staff responsible for file maintenance have received updated training on regulatory requirements.

Plan of Correction: has received retraining on the proper hygiene protocols, including the requirement to wash hands with liquid soap and warm running water after every diaper change. We have also posted visual handwashing procedure reminders in the diapering area and instituted periodic supervision to reinforce hygiene compliance.

Plan of Correction: Caregivers have been retrained to ensure that children?s hands are washed after each diaper change and before all meals. A visual checklist has been posted near changing stations to guide caregivers through each step, and compliance will be monitored by the provider through random daily checks.
We have implemented a new routine in which every child is guided directly to wash their hands upon arrival before any activity, especially meals. Visual prompts and a handwashing schedule have been posted at the entrance and kitchen area to reinforce this practice. All staff have been retrained on this requirement.

Plan of Correction: has been re-trained on required diapering hygiene procedures, including immediate sanitizing of all surfaces after each use. The daycare has also added a posted step-by-step guide at each changing station and a diapering sanitation log to ensure accountability.

Plan of Correction: We have updated our sanitation routine to include a three-step cleaning process for toilet chairs (empty, wash, sanitize) after each use. A sanitation log will now be used to document each cleaning, and caregivers have been instructed and retrained on proper cleaning protocols using EPA-approved disinfectants.

Plan of Correction: All expired products have been removed and properly discarded. We have instituted a monthly product review log to verify that all topical items are within date. Parents have been reminded in writing to routinely check the expiration dates on items sent from home.

Plan of Correction: All expired diaper creams were immediately discarded. A monthly inventory check is now in place to ensure all topical products are labeled and within expiration. Parents have been notified of the updated policy, and staff have been retrained to check expiration dates before each use.

Plan of Correction: We have contacted the parents of the listed children and obtained signed acknowledgments for all emergency contact reviews. A reminder system has been added to our calendar to ensure this review is conducted annually for each child moving forward. All staff have been briefed on this requirement, and parents will now be prompted during their annual parent-provider conference.

Plan of Correction: All caregivers have been reminded that children must be seated while eating or drinking. During snack and meal times, a designated eating space is now reinforced, and children are encouraged to sit until finished. We have posted clear visual reminders in the infant and toddler rooms to support this practice.

Plan of Correction: The Notice of Intent has now been immediately posted in a clearly visible location near the main entrance, alongside other licensing documents. All future correspondence or required postings will be reviewed and displayed promptly. A checklist of required postings is now in use to ensure ongoing compliance.
