During the review of children records 2 out of the 4 records that were evaluated were found to be missing the food allergy emergency plan.

The enrollment records for four children were evaluated during the inspection. I observed the following information missing from the files: 1. One child did not have documented information indicatiing whether or not he has any special needs. 2. One child did not have the following: A. An address documented for the emergency contact person. B. The name and contact information for their elementary school.** **NOTE: This information was corrected during the inspection.

I observed one caregiver working with 5 infants. The specified age of the group was 10 months and the required child/caregiver ratio for 0-11 months is one caregiver with 4 infants. NOTE: This was corrected during the inspection when one of the older infants was moved to the toddler classroom.

I observed that the background check status was still pending for a caregiver who was observed working with children during the inspection. NOTE: This caregiver was sent home during the inspection.

I observed that the SIDS, Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma training had expired for a caregiver who was observed working with infants during the inspection.
