Cooper, Owner/Operator, was present and accompanied me while observing the indoor and outdoor areas. One preschool-aged child arrived at the facility when school dismissed. The operator greeted the family and assisted the child with completing personal care routines and hand washing. The operator served snack which consisted of whole grain Cheerios and milk. The child washed their hands and played in activity centers. The child was observed manipulating colored magnetic blocks and built towers and bridges. The operator and child discussed and identified the colors of each block as they played on the carpeted floor. A checklist was used to note the requirements monitored during the visit. The Verification of Required Information for Operator and Additional Caregivers and Statements of Responsibility forms were completed during today’s visit. One child’s file was monitored.
