On several occasions a caregiver stepped out and left the second caregiver with 33 children by themselves. Note: The caregiver did return each time so that ratio could be back in compliance.
The menu stated that the children were having cheez its and apple sauce but the children were actually served popcorn and pop tarts. Note: This was corrected when the menu was updated during the inspection.
The children were sitting on the floor having snack and sanitary holders such as napkins or plates were not being used. Note: When pointed out napkins were provided to the children.
