I observed your Five-Star License, NC Child Care Summary of the Law, current menu, Sanitation placard, Emergency Medical Care Plan, daily schedule, activity plan, staff-child ratio worksheet, First Aid poster, tobacco free policy signage and evacuation plans posted as required. Today, children were adequately supervised, enhanced staff-child ratios minus one was maintained, adequate approved space was used, and permit restrictions including enhanced space requirements were maintained during today’s visit. I observed children having snack, outdoor play, hand washing and play in activity areas. Today’s snack consisted of Nutrigrain bars and milk. I observed activity areas set up in the cafeteria with materials including blocks, manipulatives, art, and games. I observed toys and equipment to be of sufficient quantity. I observed toys and equipment to be developmentally appropriate in all spaces and in good repair. I monitored medications stored on site. I observed the playground used by children. Playground area does not meet childcare safety standards as noted on the permit restrictions.
