During the tour of the infant classroom, LPA observed an infant sleeping with a pacifier in their mouth in a rocker with the "vibration" on. The child was strapped in by the belt the rocker comes with. Staff stated the infant had just fallen asleep, but LPA was in there for at least 3-5 minutes where the infant was sleeping in the rocker before they were picked up and placed in a crib. This poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.

Based on observation during the facility tour, LPA found that the licensee did not comply with the section cited above. LPA observed a "Fisher Price walk bounce and ride pony" walker in the infant classroom. This poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
