During this visit, developmentally appropriate curriculum was not observed. Children were watching television for an extended period of time and three of the children were confined to highchairs for an extended period of time with no appropriate activities.
Progress reports were not current for all enrolled children.
The smoke detectors on the first floor were not working. They were working on the lower level.
The children were in the living room, adjacent to the kitchen on the upper level, when Licensor arrived. This room is not licensed space, and there were hazards accessible to the children in that room (uncovered outlets, loose electrical cords, a shelf that was a tipping hazard, plastic bags, etc.) The Educator was making lunch in the kitchen, which is licensed space. The Educator stated she brought the children upstairs to supervise them while she made lunch. The Certified Assistant was no present when Licensor first arrived, so there was no one available to stay downstairs with the children while lunch was being prepared. Discussed the children can only be in licensed space and there needs to be a better plan for preparing lunch if only one caregiver is present.
Three toddler-aged children were observed to be confined to highchairs for an extended period of time.
