This child care center is operating with a three-star license, serving school age children only. There was no one in the building when I arrived. I telephoned the owner/administrator/ program coordinator, Jasmine Ross, and told her I was conducting a routine unannounced visit. Ms. Ross told me there were 5 children today and that they were in her other child care facility because the group leader she hired for summer has left and the current group leader was out. The two facilities share the same parking lot. She arrived a short time later and moved the children back to the school age care building. I informed her of the purpose of my visit. The last annual compliance visit was conducted on 1/24/2024. A fire inspection was completed on 3/11/2024, and the sanitation inspection was last completed on 2/5/2024 with superior rating. I conducted a partial assessment of the child care requirements today. I completed a walkthrough of the indoor and outdoor learning environment. There was one new staff file to review. I observed the children playing freely with the toys and materials accessible to them. I observed the following violations during today’s visit and provided technical assistance on the items. Violation Number Comment Rule 428 A current activity plan was not posted for each group of children for reference. "The activity plan posted was for the week of 7/22/2024."
