During the visit, I observed the children creating art, building with blocks, eating snack and having group time. Kindergarten and school age children were observed preparing to go on a field trip. Infants were observed playing with developmentally appropriate toys, napping in appropriate sleep positions and crawling around the licensed space. Emergency medications, topical creams and permissions were monitored and current. There are three buses on site, however, you stated that 2 of the buses are not currently being used. The bus was not on site today and I was unable to monitor the emergency binders and emergency and identifying information. Fire drills, emergency drills, and playground inspections were documented and current. A sanitation inspection was conducted 1/2/24. A satisfactory fire inspection was conducted 6/13/23, the facility was approved for daytime care only. Fourteen children’s files, new staff files, on-going training and annual updates were monitored today. There were two items of non-compliance observed today.

I monitored on-going training, staff had the required training hours and new staff were working on completing health and safety trainings. I did not count your most recent in service training hours from your PDD, these will count for your 2024-25 school year. Today we discussed the medication albuterol. Both children with albuterol did not have known asthma, I suggested having the parents bring you a doctor's note for the prescribed medication so that you will know how long the child should be given the medication or how long it should be kept on site. You had questions regarding naptime. I advised you that children ages 2 and up can have up to the max group size for the youngest child in the licensed space with one teacher, as long as, there is a second staff member available if needed. You also asked if floaters should have IT'S SIDS training. I advised you they should if they will be working with infants. I reminded you staff can't be left alone in the infant room without the training. Thank you for your time today. If you should have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact me.
