Comments:
An unannounced code compliance inspection was initiated on 11/2/2022 and concluded on 11/2/2022 from 10:00 AM to 10:55 AM. Records were reviewed virtually. There were 49 children present, ranging in ages from 2 1/2 to 5, with 10 staff. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, procedures and medication. A total of three children?s records and three staff?s records were reviewed. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility.
Based on a review of the staff handbook and interview, the center failed to implement a procedure to ensure that all areas of the premises accessible to children are free of obvious injury hazards.
Evidence:
