Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted from 4:00 - 6:00 pm with the director. There were ten children, (eight enrolled in the licensed program), ranging from three years to five years of age, present with three staff supervising. Children were observed playing on the playground, washing hands preparing for snack, eating snack, and playing with age-appropriate toys. Snack served today: pirate booty and mandarin oranges. Four staff records, four child records, two medications, the emergency drill log, daily attendance, written list of food allergies, sensitivities and dietary preferences, and fire and health inspections were reviewed.

Evidence: 1) There are cracks in the plastic border maintaining the mulch on the playground that are sharp and potential pinching hazards. 2) The platform on the smaller playground composite structure is rusting and the cover is deteriorating.
