An unannounced Subsidy Health and Safety Inspection was conducted on Tuesday, September 24, 2019 to review supplemental health and safety requirements. The inspection was initiated at approximately 9:45am and concluded at 2:35pm. The center?s director and assistant director were present and assisted the inspector throughout the inspection. The census for today?s visit consisted of 14 children in the care and four staff. Upon arrival, the inspector was informed that the preschool children were on a nature walk. The school ager?s staff had just returned to the center from dropping off the children at school. Once the children arrived from their nature walk, the licensing inspector observed each class engaged in a variety of activities. The children in the 3?s/4?s room were observed during circle time, singing songs, discussing the days of the week, months of the year, and the verse of the week. The children in the 2?s room were observed during circle time as they discussed the color yellow. Later, they were observed coloring and identifying ?yellow? items provided by the staff. The staff were observed having positive interactions with the children. The areas where the children receive care were inspected and found to be in compliance. The center is equipped with age and stage appropriate materials. The center had the following posted: license, daily schedule, emergency numbers, evacuation maps, and various parent information. The center?s first aid kit and non-emergency supplies were inspected. The center provides transportation and one van was inspected today. Five children?s records and five staff records were reviewed.

Based on a review of five staff records on 09/24/2019, the vendor did not ensure that two staff were evaluated by a health professional and be issued a statement that the individual is determined to be free of communicable tuberculosis (TB) within the required time frame.
Evidence: 1) The record for Staff #2, hired on 07/15/2019, did not contain documentation of a TB test or screening. 2) The record for Staff #4, hired on 07/02/2019, did not contain documentation of a TB test or screening. Documentation of the screening shall be submitted at the time of employment and prior to coming into contact with children. The documentation shall have been completed within the last 30 calendar days of the date of employment and be signed by a physician, physician's designee, or an official of the local health department.
Plan of Correction:
Per the Vendor: The staff will obtain the TB documentation as soon as possible. In the future, the administration will implement a spreadsheet to ensure all required documentation is on file for staff.
