Comments:
An unannounced onsite inspection was conducted today. There were a total of 24 children with 4 staff and 2 co op parents. When the Inspector arrived, one class was outside preparing for morning snack. Children transitioned to the playground area and were observed selecting equipment out of a storage area located on the playground. The playground toys and equipment were determined age appropriate for the children in care. An outdoor portable sink was assembled for children and staff hand washing. Staff were observed using hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes with children after snack. A walk thru of classrooms, one bathroom, a theme room which was currently set up for a doctor's office and the large gross motor play room located on the upper level was made. The programming this year focuses primarily on outside activities. Children's Valentine artwork on display along with other projects that coincided with the lesson plans for February.
