Evidence: There were no staff on site that were certified to administer emergency medications while a child with an emergency medication was present at the center.

Based on observation, the center did not ensure that hazardous substances were kept in a locked place using a safe locking method that prevents access by children.

Based on observation and inspection of the playground, the Center did not to ensure that the required resilient surfacing surrounding playground equipment with moving parts or climbing apparatus created a sufficient fall zone.

Evidence:
1) The main playground has a swing set that is 89 inches in height. At 154 inches from the back of the swing beam, the resilient surfacing stops and there is a wooden support beam for the playground surround. Resilient surfacing is required to extend to twice the height of the swing set on the front and back so 6 inches of resilient surfacing would need to extend to 178 inches from the swing beam.
2)The Main playground has a double slide facing the main building that is 47 inches in height with pea gravel at 1 inch in depth in front of the right slide instead of the required 6 inches.
3)The playground by the small building has a dinosaur climber that is 24 inches in height that is 47 inches from the wall to the building. Resilient surfacing is required to extend for 6 feet on all sides from any climbing apparatus.
4) The playground by the small building has a web climber that is 37 inches in height with pea gravel at 1 inch in depth under the climber instead of the required 6 inches.
