Two immunization records were not current.

At the time of follow up the play equipment was present in the playgroun and had a border installed, but there was not any play surfacing present at this time.

At the time of the inspection a bouncing 4 person see saw type toy was observed with no loose fill underneath the structure. Director stated this would be removed from the playground.

The file of a child who had unenrolled from the center was not complete and available for review at the time of the investigation. The child's care had ended within 30 days of the file being found incomplete.

A caregiver did not show good judgement when a child was not picked up from school by the operation. The director did not clarify the child's last date of enrollment with the parent before the operation commenced their afterschool pick up routine.

At the time of the inspection a slide with a platform over 3 ft in height was present on the playground with no loose fill surfacing present. A plan was in place with the director to remove the slide as soon as possible.

At the time of inspection the operation did not have emergency evacuation/relocation diagrams posted with complete details for evacuation route and relocation information.

The operation did not have adequate furnishiings and materials for Pre K age children. Indoor activity spaces were not clearly defined or provide opportunities for the various types of play.

At the time of inspection there was a lighter, large tree limbs, pecans and various debri throughout the outdoor activity space. There was also a large ant pile with live ants in the midldle of the yard. Additiionally, the outdoor activity space currently utilizes squares of artificial turf to cover the yard. Multiple sections of the turf are bunched up at the corners posing a trip hazard and preventing a uniform surfacing level. There is also a loose step at the bottom of the wooden staircase that needs to be secured as well as the exposed pointed edge of a section of the chain link fence on the left side of the building.
