This visit was conducted with Ms. Donna Simms, Lead Teacher. This program currently operates with a Five Star license. Restrictions include daytime care only, meets enhanced ratios minus one, meets enhanced ratios, meets enhanced space. The license was posted and the restrictions were being followed. I am unable to look up the compliance history of the program because the Regulatory system is down today. Programs are required to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least 75%. I have observed indoor and outdoor areas today. I monitored staff/child ratios and space capacity today, as is indicated on the attached worksheet. I observed proper supervision of children. During the visit, the children were playing with toys and listening to a story. Today, the following items were monitored: • Supervision • Capacity • CPR / First Aid • SIDS training • Criminal Background Checks • General health • Administration of medication • Storage of hazardous products • Storage of medication • General safety • General license requirements • Program records • License posted • Fire safety • Sanitation Limited monitoring of staff files was conducted in accordance with DCDEE procedures for the purpose of reviewing CPR and First Aid, EPR, SIDS training, Health and Safety trainings and Criminal Background Checks. The storage and administration of medications was monitored. Medication authorization was monitored. The storage of hazardous items was monitored. A fire drill was documented on 09-06-2023.

Additional monitoring visits may be conducted during the year to monitor compliance with applicable childcare requirements. Today I provided Technical Assistance in the following areas: I have observed the sign in and sign out sheet today. The center is using a notebook and each child is written on a separate page. When staff is busy during the day, they do not have time to check each separate tab during the day to make sure that each child is signed in and out properly. If a child is not signed in or out by the teacher or the parent, then it would be a violation. Today, I have observed a child’s paper that has the signature on the form with the time that the child was dropped off, but no name of the child and no date. Staff report that this person has three children here and that they do not have time to write each child’s full name and the date along with signature and time on three separate papers. I have suggested that all children enrolled be written on one form with the date at the top so that parents can write either their signature or their initials, and the time. One staff person suggested that the central office was concerned about privacy and the child’s first and last name on the form for all to see, however, only one part of the information could be on the form to meet the rule; for example, K. Healy, Kelly, Healy, or Kelly H. I have reviewed this visit summary with Ms. Simms at the conclusion of the visit and a copy was given to her.
