Comments:
An unannounced renewal inspection took place on January 27, 2020. There were 47 children in care from ages 4 years old to 11 years old with eight staff providing care and supervision. The inspector reviewed five children's records and five staff records on the day of the inspection. The inspector also reviewed three medications on the premises on the day of the inspection. This center does not transport children. Children were observed during the following activities: arrival, hygiene practices, snack time, and homework time. The inspector also reviewed emergency drill documentation, first aid kits, injury/incident reports, policies and procedures, and emergency supplies. There were discussions about the playground, staff records, and children's records. The inspection took place from approximately 1:45 PM to 5:00 PM. Violations were discussed at the conclusion of the inspection. Please contact your inspector, should you have any questions: Jensen Mellnick (540)309-2051.
