Extra clothing & assuring children are dressed appropriately for the weather
Educator has daily attendance forms and the parents are responsible for signing their child in and out and writing the time of arrival and departure each day. There were several days in which the parents did not sign out their day at the end of the day, so there was no departure time.
Licensor inspected all of the indoor, licensed space during the renewal visit, as well as the outdoor playspace. Inside, the only room that had hazards was the kitchen. The cabinet under the sink has a lock but it was not engaged during the visit and there are cleaners inside, the top drawer on the right side of the counter has small, chokable items inside, and there was a large butcher knife in a utensil canister on the counter.

Attendance Logs
Licensor reviewed 2 of the children's records during the virtual visit. One record was complete and up to date. However, one of the parent signatures was in the wrong place and Educator will need to ensure this is fixed. The other record had no signature for receipt of the parent handbook.
Educator uses the attestation forms as the attendance. The parents sign the child in at arrival and sign them out at departure. These times are documents on the attendance. However, the parents do not always write in these times, so it is not consistent. Discussed that Educator needs to ensure these times are documented every day for each child.
Educator has a detailed emergency preparedness plan that is posted in the program. However, it is missing Educator's plan for what to do if a child goes missing from the program.
This monitoring visit inspection recorded no violations or advisories.
