Upon arrival, I observed four children ages 0 to 2 years old in the living area of the home. The operator was observed completing diapering and hand washing routines with each child. I observed children singing and dancing to various nursery rhymes and songs. The operator sang “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” with the children as they played with push/pull toys, soft blocks, and colored pages with age-appropriate sized crayons. When finished, I observed the operator prepare the children for mealtime by assisting them with handwashing. Lunch was prepared by individual families and the operator assisted the children with feeding themselves. Soft children’s music played as children ate their meal. Nutrition Opt-Out forms were on file for each child enrolled. Following lunch, children were placed in their individual Pack and Plays for rest time. The Verification of Required Information for Operator and Additional Caregivers and the Operator’s Statement of Responsibility forms were completed during today’s visit.
