The facility’s license has a restriction, “Playground does not meet childcare safety requirements”. Therefore, the playground was not monitored during the visit. Upon my arrival children were twenty-nine children in care. As children arrived, they were greeted by staff. They placed their personal items in individual bins. The area was shared with car riders. After attendance was taken, children lined up for outdoors. Children stopped so that they could use the restroom and wash hands. Some children got a drink of water from the water fountain. A variety of balls were carried outdoors. Some children stayed indoors. A child read a Sticky Situation card to other children, and the Site Director asked questions about the story. Next, the children washed their hands for snack. The children that were outdoors, retuned and washed their hands for snack. Snack consisted of vanilla crunch crackers and chilled 100% fruit juice. After snack, children cleaned their areas. The grouped that were inside went outdoors and took hoola-hoops with them. The children that came indoors, participated in the Sticky Situation activity. Today, was fun Friday. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with S. Bastian.

Contact Environmental Health at 910-433-3676. Inform them that you had a monitoring visit and you have until October 27, 2023 to receive a current inspection. Observation Inspection: Expand on the children experiences by offering verbal and non-verbal support when necessary. For example, when children are waiting, play a game, ask question, or sing/chant songs. Let the children share how their school day went. When children are waiting for long periods of time during transitions, typically some may have to be redirected or positive discipline is needed. Provide a balance of adult and child-directed activities where children can make guided decisions based on teacher’s clearly identified expectations (example, where to sit at a table).
