There are concerns with supervision

There are concerns with inappropriate discipline.

Small pom-pom balls that are not age appropriate for toddlers were being used in the classroom and one of the pom-poms had to be medically removed from a child’s nose.

The operation created a background check eligibility letter in an attempt to satisfy Minimum Standards Background Check Requirements.

A caregiver was present at the operation without an active background check.

It was determined that the operation failed to report to Child Care Regulation when they were made aware of a child needing medical treatment for an injury sustained while in care. This was corrected when the CCR staff completed the Investigation inspection and spoke to the director.

During the investigation, it was found that the operation waited four hours after they observed the child's swollen hand to notify child's parents.

There was no documentation of a current fire inspection.

This standard was evaluated during the investigation and found out of compliance. The operation did not report to Childcare Regulation when they became aware of a caregiver transitioning from the playground back into the building without all the children in their care.

There is enough evidence to support that the operation did not following Minimum Standards regarding notifying parents of situations that place their child at risk. A child was left unattended on the playground when the child's class transitioned inside.

There is enough evidence to support that a caregiver was not following Minimum Standards regarding supervision. A child was left unattended on the playground when the child's class transitioned inside. There was another class on the playground next door however, those caregivers were not notified they were responsible for the child.

The first aid kit was observed to have expired supplies. This was corrected during the inspection, when the supplies were removed.

The operation did not have the required liability insurance coverages.

During the inspection, a bathroom a toilet was observed to not have been flushed, and there was torn tissue on the floor. This was corrected during the inspection when the toilet was flushed and the tissue was picked up and thrown away.

During the inspection, operational policies were incomplete and did not include: promotion of outdoor activities and the duration of the activities, release of children, and procedures for parents to discuss concerns.

During the inspection, the operation did not have all of the required posting for review: Menus, evacuation diagram, activity plans for each age group, allergies, and emergency numbers.

During the inspection, the operation did not have a documented annual health inspection from the local health department.

The annual sanitation inspection was not available for review at inspection.

The following training is being completed at orientation but it is not being completed annually: Preventing and responding to emergencies due to food or an allergic reaction. Four out of ten staff records reviewed had this at orientation but did not have this as part of their annual training.

During an investigation it was found that there was substantial evidence to show that children were not adequately supervised.
