INFANT SLEEP POLICY In space #301 an infant was sleeping in a bouncy seat. It is important that a child is placed in his or her crib or approved sleeping device. The teacher was unaware that the child was not allowed to sleep in the bouncy seat. I would recommend that you review your safe sleep policy with all staff that work in the infant classroom. I would also have the staff member review ITS-SIDS for a refresher. You may also review resources from the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding safe sleep. INFANT BOTTLES Two infant bottles in space #301 did not have top (covering) to prevent contamination. I discussed with the teacher and the director the importance of a covering or top. The teacher stated the parents bring the bottles with no caps. I would suggest sending a memo reminder to the parents regarding your effort to prevent contamination. WALLS In space #2 the wall in the music area near the baseboard has chipping paint. Chipping paint can, if ingested to cause choking hazards and other medical issues. In the hallway near the two-year-old classroom the wall was observed with a hole in the wall. I would recommend covering or repairing the area while your center is closed over the next week.

All spaces were monitored for supervision, staff/child ratios, materials, equipment and required postings. The program records were reviewed for current inspections. Transportation is not provided; therefore, these requirements were not monitored. This facility does have children under 12 months enrolled, therefore safe sleep requirements were monitored and found in compliance. The following violations were observed and documented during today’s visit: Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE The following items were discussed during today’s visit to help you maintain quality within your program and to prevent further violations. NON-PRESCRIPTION/PRESCRIPTION I observed an expired parent authorization form in space for two’s (room 305) with an expiration date of 8/2025. I observed Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 with an expiration date of 8/2023. A parent authorization form was observed with dates to administer from 6/2024 to 1/2026. I would recommend having parents drop all prescription and non-prescription medications at the office to be reviewed and then placed in the classrooms. I would also have a member of management to check all medication monthly to ensure compliance. SANITATION During the visit it was observed that the feeding apparatus was not properly cleaned after a child completed a bottle. The administrator and teachers were unaware that the apparatus needed to be cleaned after each feeding.

In room 305 the lesson plan posted was dated October 27th – 31st. In room 307 the lesson plan posted was dated September 15th. Having an updated lesson plan plays a key role in preparing for children’s care and learning. Lesson plans help the classroom stay organized, assist in the learning process of young children and give guidance and structure to the class. I would recommend having the staff to complete lessons plans on or before Thursday of each week and submit them to management to be posted by close of business on Friday for the following week. MEDICATION/HAZARDOUS STORAGE In space #302 diaper cream was not stored in a locked storage or a locked cabinet or locked storage. In space #305 the closet door was observed unlocked. The closet stored an aerosol can of Febreze Air Mist, Wet Jet Swiffer mop, the cleaning solution for the Wet Jet, diaper cream, and Benadryl. The teacher stated that the closet normally stays locked and the children do not go in the closet. I would recommend placing a key in an area near the door to use to make sure the door remains locked. I would also recommend a member of management do a safety check randomly through out the day to ensure all closets are locked. CONSULTATION AND REMINDERS The following items were discussed during today’s visit to improve the quality of your program.

The classroom is approved for care; however, it is not a safe environment. In order for the classroom to continue to be used the classroom will need to be free of storage and have adequate equipment and materials.
