Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted at the facility on November 14, 2019 from approximately 9:35 am until 12:10 pm. Upon entrance there were 32 children present with 3 staff members and 7 parent volunteers. Additional staff arrived on site after inspection began for administrative and support purposes. The licensing inspector observed the children playing on the playground, preparing for a field trip, reading and eating snack. The sample size of records reviewed included 5 children's records, 4 staff records and 2 parent volunteer records. Two medications were also reviewed as a part of the inspection. The areas of non-compliance are noted on the violation notice. The inspection results were reviewed during the exit interview with the Program Director. Please contact the Licensing Inspector, Christine Mahan with any questions (757) 404-0568.
Based on observation and staff interviews, the licensee did not ensure the areas and equipment of the center, inside and outside, shall be maintained in a clean, safe and operable condition. Unsafe conditions shall include, but not be limited to, splintered, cracked or otherwise deteriorating wood; chipped or peeling paint; visible cracks, bending or warping, rusting or breakage of any equipment; head entrapment hazards; and protruding nails, bolts or other components that could entangle clothing or snag skin.
Evidence; On the playground there was a plastic storage bin and there were two sharp screws protruding from the side of the bin. These screws were accessible to the children.
Plan of Correction:
The front of the bin on the playground was immediately snapped back into place to cover the exposed screws. The chair of the playground committee was contacted and will assess the bins to determine a permanent fix that will ensure this will not happen again. Staff were instructed to monitor the bin daily to make sure the screws do not become exposed again. Date corrected ? November 14, 2019
