Comments:
An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on January 25, 2024, from 10:20am to approximately 1:00pm. There were 49 children and 7 staff members present. The Inspectors reviewed five children?s records and five staff records. The Inspectors observed the interaction of staff and children throughout the inspection. Children were observed during free play, coloring, music and movement, handwashing, story time, lunch and nap. First aid kits and emergency preparedness documents were observed. Transportation is not provided at the center. The outdoor play area was observed. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and a violation was documented on the violation notice issued to the program. The violation notice was discussed with the owner at the exit interview. The inspection was concluded on 01/25/2024.
Based on observation and interview, it was determined that the center did not ensure that when staff are supervising children, they shall always ensure their care and protection. Evidence: 1. In the 2 year old classroom, Staff #2 was observed spraying sanitizer on the table where two children were sitting. 2. One of the two children sitting at the table placed their hands on the wet sanitizer solution immediately after it was sprayed. 3. Staff #2 confirmed spraying sanitizer on the table while two children were sitting at the table.
Plan of Correction:
The center responded with the following: Staff #1, Director/Owner will ensure that staff are trained in sanitizing the tables and areas appropriately and ensure it will not happen again. Moving forward, Director will also train staff during orientation on how to clean tables when children are present.
