The March 2024 version of Child Care Center Master Item Number Listing, DCD-0357 was used to complete monitoring today. I was greeted by the director, Ms. Stewart. I explained the purpose of today's visit. She accompanied me on a walk through of the facility. Program records and staff records were made available to me.

Because complaint allegations were substantiated during a visit on 6/4/24, an administrative action could be taken against this facility. Children were observed having free play on the outdoor playground. You have storage units outside with additional gross motor toys in them. I suggest pulling out more balls, and push/pull, and ride on toys for children to have access to. Some children were observed having circle time. Children were observed for reactions. They were engaged and no one was forced to sit down and participate. Please remind teachers to keep circle time at a minimum. Remind them that it can be broken up into multiple times during the day and it can be done with a few group of children at a time. This helps to keep it developmentally appropriate and also helps when thinking about substantial portion of the day during the ERS.
