An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on November 21, 2023, from 10am to approximately 12:30pm. There were 14 infant children present and 4 staff members. The Inspector reviewed five children?s records and five staff records. The Inspector observed staff and children?s interactions throughout the inspection. Children were observed during morning snack, bottle feeding, diaper changes, free play, and group activity. There is no transportation provided for the infants at this time at the center. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and a violation was documented on the violation notice issued to the program. The violation was discussed with the owner at the exit interview.
Violations
1Evidence:
1. The large fish tank stand located in the infant classroom has two cabinet doors with no protective safety lock that are in reach of children. Children at the center can reach and open it which poses as an injury hazard.
2. Infant staff members confirmed that there was no safety lock on the two cabinet doors for the fish tank stand and that children can reach and open the cabinet doors.
3. The electrical cords from the swings to the electrical outlet were exposed and loose for children to grab when crawling on the ground. This poses as a choking, tripping, and injury hazard to the children in case.
4. The infant staff members confirmed that the electrical cords to the swings were loose and were accessible to the children in care.
