Comments:
A Subsidy Health and Safety inspection was conducted on 3/1/2023 to review supplemental health and safety requirements. A total of 40 children were present with 16 caregivers. The children were engaged in the following: reading books, counting in Spanish, learning to count money, practicing days of the week, playing with bubbles, listening to story time, and coloring green eggs and ham. Programming, menus, emergency procedures, 9 medications, and 5 children?s records and 5 staff records were reviewed.

A licensing inspection was also conducted this date; the two inspections combined cover all subsidy health and safety requirements. Only subsidy requirements that are not covered in licensing standards are reviewed during this supplemental inspection. Violations were found during the supplemental subsidy health and safety inspection requirements and are identified on the violation notice.
