Practice drills should be conducted monthly to reinforce these safety measures. The last documented playground inspection was completed on 5/12/25. Playground inspections are crucial for ensuring children's safety and well-being while using play equipment. They help identify potential hazards, prevent injuries, and ensure compliance with safety standards, ultimately creating a safer and more enjoyable environment for children. This inspection should be completed monthly, and a copy kept on file.

COMPLIANCE HISTORY Prior to today’s visit, the program’s compliance history was 98%. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE During today’s visit we discussed an incident that occurred in the program. You stated that during the summer, you gave a tour to a prospective family. During the tour you discussed, with the parent, that the child must be at least 3 years of age, prior to enrollment. The child began 8/1/23 and it was discovered, when the center celebrated the child’s birthday, that the child was turning 3. You are licensed to provide care for children ages 3 – 12, so this is a violation of the center’s permit restriction. Since the child is now three years old, the violation is marked as corrected during the visit. However, a follow-up visit will be conducted to confirm compliance with this permit restriction. Two emergency medications were on file without proper authorization forms. One child with an epi-pen had the Allergy care plan completed, but there was only an authorization form for the Benadryl. Another child had an allergy care plan that included dosage information, but not a parent signature. We discussed today that the authorization forms must be completed for each medication, is valid for 6 months and must have a parent signature. Since the allergy care plans are valid for 1 year, I recommend asking the parent to complete a medical authorization form for the medication, which can them be updated every six months. CONSULTATION During today’s visit, I saw that the tires on your bus are wearing unevenly. It appears that there is currently sufficient tread on the tires, but you may soon need to replace them. Please check your tires frequently and replace them when needed. I confirmed today that the 2016 Ford minibus with license plate number TET 3348 is the only vehicle used. It was last inspected in February 2023 and the insurance is valid until 2/5/24. There are new sanitation requirements effective 7/1/23. I recommend you contact your Environmental Health Specialist or review their website for more information. Training in all the required health and safety topics must be completed at least every 5 years. It may be time for your staff to complete this training again. Health and Safety training is available, at no charge, on the DCDEE website, in Moodle. Staff should use their individual NCID user name and password to access this training. Staff should use their individual NCID user name and password to access this training. Recognizing and Responding to Suspicions of Child Maltreatment must also be completed at least every 5 years. There is a link to this training on Moodle. Medication Administration is also a required health and safety training topic. This training is available through Moodle as a separate training. The expiration date on staff qualification letters has been extended by two years. New letters reflecting this change will not be sent. However, I will note this change as I make visits to the center.
