Upon arrival, the children were observed resting in their designated areas in the home. Later, the children were observed washing hands, taking bathroom breaks and preparing for snack. The areas of childcare, kitchen, the indoor and outdoor play areas were inspected. The caregiver was observed having positive interactions with the children.
