A 4-year-old room was missing a cover for an electrical outlet accessible to children. This was corrected when covers were placed in the outlet.
Based upon interviews, staff did not do a name to face after transitioning children back into the classroom from a bathroom break. This resulted in a child being left unsupervised in the hallway near the classroom for approximately 1-2 minutes until the child was found by the director.
A 3 year old room had a purse out that was accessible to children and a 4 year old room had purses stored in a lower cabinet and the latch was not locked allowing the purses to be accessible to children. This was CORRECTED when the cabinet was locked.
The operation did not notify Licensing about two positive COVID cases within the 2 days allowed. This was corrected when the director returned to the operation and completed the self-report email to the shared mailbox that was received on 02/15/22.
