Comments:

The licensing inspector initiated an unannounced inspection on 05/14/2024 in response to a complaint received by the department on 04/24/2024 for allegations regarding hazardous substances. Interviews and observations were conducted relating to the allegations. The information gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation, so the complaint could not be substantiated. Information gathered during the inspection determined noncompliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility. Please return a signed and dated copy of each page of this notice to the licensing inspector no later than 5:00pm on 05/31/2024. If you?d like to include a plan or correction and date to be corrected for each violation cited, please include that information with the signed and dated copy of the Violation Notice by the deadline. Plans of correction should include steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard and measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again.

Violations:

Description:	(REPEAT VIOLATION) Based on observation and a review of the center's Policy and Procedure for Safe Sleep and SUIDS Prevention, the licensee failed to ensure that the center maintained in compliance with the center's own policies and procedures that are required by the standards. Evidence: A crib in the older infant room (all infants under 12 months) had a very lose sheet covering the mattress. The center's Policy and Procedure for Safe Sleep states: 10. A safety-approved crib with a firm mattress and tight-fitting sheet will be used. One of the cribs in the older infant room (all infants under 12 months) had a thick blanket. The center's Policy and Procedure for Safe Sleep states: 7. No pillows, comforters, bumper pads, etc. will be used in cribs.
Plan of Correction:	New crib sheets have been ordered to ensure that all sheets available are tight fitting sheets. New sheets should arrive on June 10, 2024. The thicker blanket was sent home on May 14, 2024. This was a new blanket that the child had never brought before this day. This blanket was for a child that would turn 1 year old in a week and was working on transitioning to a cot. This child also uses a blanket for soothing purposes. Policy and procedures for Safe Sleep and SUIDS Prevention has been revised. An updated copy with more specific language has been sent to the licensing for review.
