Today an unannounced Monitoring Inspection took place between the hours of 12pm and 1:15pm. There were 5 classrooms observed with a total of 39 children with 7 staff within the supervision guidelines. The children were observed transitioning to naptime, using building blocks and school age children were observed playing video games. A complete inspection of the physical plant, children and staff records, medications and emergency procedures were observed during this inspection. There was an adequate number of staff with current certification in MAT, CPR and First Aid, as well as DHO training. Staff-to-child ratios were in compliance.
