Inspector Notes

An unannounced Subsidy Health and Safety Inspection (SHSI) was conducted today. There were a total of 2 children (5 points) with the Vendor providing supervision. One of the two children was observed sleeping at the beginning of the inspection. Observation of the home was made which included both levels of the home, bathroom and kitchen area. No use of cribs currently, no identified food allergies or medication needs at this time. Diapering and handwashing procedures were observed with one child and the Vendor. Toys, books and supplies onsite were determined age appropriate for the children currently enrolled. The Vendor prepared sippy cups of milk for the children and the children were observed sitting while drinking. One began to sing the alphabet song and the Vendor began to sing along. Positive interaction was observed between the children and the Vendor. The home provides adequate space for the children to play and interact with each other. The main programming space is located on the lower level of the home. The previous violation found at the last inspection was reviewed and the corrective action was verified during this inspection. This inspection occurred between 10:30am and 12pm. If you have any questions regarding today's inspection, please contact:
