An unannounced renewal inspection was conducted on 02/14/2024.

Description:
REPEAT VIOLATION
Based on observations, the center failed to ensure that the areas and equipment of the center, inside and outside, shall be maintained in a clean, safe and operable condition.
Evidence: 1. The rainspout on the exterior of the building, located in the play area, was broken and sharp. 2. The chain link fence along the backside of the play area had several broken links that created a sharp edge that could snag skin. The fence sagged and the lower part of the fence stuck out into the play area and posed a tripping hazard. 3. There was an exposed area of cement sticking out of the mulched covered area that posed a tripping hazard. 4. There was various litter (empty food and candy wrappers, empty drink cans, band-aids, etc.) strown around the play area.
Plan of Correction:
Will make the necessary repairs.
