An unannounced monitoring inspection was conducted on November 1, 2019 from approximately 9:45 am-2:30 pm. Upon arrival to the facility, there were 35 children present with eight staff members. The children were observed playing in the gymnasium, doing a letter recognition activity, feeding, resting and playing freely and interacting with their peers and staff. The following areas were reviewed: indoor and outdoor areas, required postings, the center's vehicle, nutrition, administration, programming and emergency supplies and procedures.
