Country Home Learning Center #4, LTD

Based on information gathered during this investigation, a caregiver did not positively redirect a child's behavior by throwing a toy at a child.

Two caregivers provided an inaccurate count of the children in their care. One caregiver stated there were 19 children but there was 19. The other caregiver advised that there were 10 children but there was actually 11 children in the group.

There was a frayed seat belt in one of six buses used for transportation of children.

At time of inspection, a PreK caregiver stated they had seven children when they had eight.

Operation failed to notify Child Care Regulations Department within 48 hours of a confirmed Covid-19 incident at the center.

Loose-fill (rocks and mulch) were not evenly distributed on the playground leaving several spots with insufficient amount. This was corrected at inspection.

Evidence gathered during the investigation indicated that the caregiver was supervising two groups of children. The caregiver was standing in the doorway between the playground and the hallway while also completing an incident report, which diverted the caregiver's attention resulting in two children engaging in inappropriate behavior while using the restroom.
