Comments:
A monitoring inspection was conducted on 08/21/2023. There were (#) children present and (#) staff. A tour of the facility was conducted, in addition to a record review and interviews with staff. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance(s) with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
Based on observation the center did not ensure all areas and equipment of the center were maintained in a safe condition. Evidence: 1. Cubby shelves in the hall were not secured, posing a tipping hazard. 2. One of the cubby's where children put their personal belongings had 2 screws with sharp ends, protruding from the wood. 3. There was peeling paint on the wall at the infant entrance, in reach of children. 4. A baby was observed sleeping in a crib that had a mattress that was too large for the crib and did not fit snug.
Plan of Correction:
The cubbies will be secured, screws will be replaced with shorter ones so they do not protrude and the peering paint will be removed. The crib that does not have a fitting mattress will no longer be used until the correct mattress can be identified.
