The gate to the play area is locked and the owner does not have access to the key.

A baby walker with wheels was present in the infant room. This was corrected when the wheels were removed.

A caregiver was present around children prior to receiving an eligible background check.

A child with multiple diagnosed food allergies did not have a food allergy emergency plan on file at the operation.

There was no hand washing sink in the diaper changing area in a room used by children that are still in diapers.

A loose crib sheet was in use and presented an entanglement hazard. This was corrected when it was replaced with a tighter fitting sheet.

One child did not have an immunization record present in their file.

The outside space meant for use by children is overgrown with grass and not safe to be used.

Two employees, including the director, did not have valid CPR that meets minimum standard requirements and includes a hands-on portion with the mannequin.

During walk through it was observed by the exit door a trash bag was on the floor accessible to children. Note: Trash bag was removed and clear of access to children. This was correct at inspection.

During the walk through the outdoor playground was observed, there were debris of trash on the ground, grass not cut down and toys. Photos were taken during the walk through.

I observed in the infant room a paint bucket and paint pail filled with paint on the changing table and near bottles. I also observed a caregiver painting and washing paint brushes in the infant sink while 3 infants were in care on the floor.

I observed a classroom with 7 children napping with no adequate lighting.

I observed a caregiver answer the door leaving 2 kids unsupervised, I also observed a caregiver take a child to the restroom leaving the classroom with 7 kids unsupervised.

A caregiver was in direct care of a child without an active background check.

Seven complete personnel files were not available for me to observe during my inspection.

I observed two nails and two jacket hooks protruding from the outdoor playground fencing.

There was no child safety alarm installed in the vehicle that is currently being used to transport children in care.

Based on the information obtained, there is sufficient evidence to suggest the operation did not have a signed authorization to drop off and pick up the child from his home. The signed transportation authorization states the child should be dropped off and picked up from the child's elementary school and not the child's home.
