Kids-R-Kids #2 - Kings River

During the inspection the keys to cabinet/file were not available during the inspection preventing access to the personnel record.

I observed six children seated in a highchair table with safety belts and none of the safety belts were fastened. Two seat were missing safety belts and one seats safety belt was missing the clasp. This was corrected when licensing staff asked for the children to be removed from the seats and children were seated at an age appropriate table and chair set.

I observed a child's diaper being changed and the caregiver released the child to the classroom without the child washing their hands. This was corrected when licensing staff asked the caregiver to wash the child's hands.

It was found that a parent was not notified of their child's possible less serious injury.

During the walk through I observed diaper changing procedures and the caregiver did not wash the child hands after changing them. This was corrected when CCR staff informed caregiver that the child's hand must be washed after each diaper change.

During the inspection it was found that the operation had not had a fire inspection since 02/22/2024, being past due for their annual inspection by 6 weeks.

During the investigation inspection it was observed that one of the classrooms was out of ratio with one caregiver outside with 23 children. This caregiver did have a co-teacher, however the co-teacher was inside of the classroom and not outside with the class. This class was over ratio by 5 children in a ratio that should have been 1/18, with a specficied age of 4 years old.

While reviewing children's records there were two out of ten files without an address for the emergency contact.

While reviewing records one child's file out of ten did not have the child's name or date of birth on the enrollment form.

While reviewing children's records there was a school age child without the school's name and phone number documented.

A table in use does not have straps that belong on the apparatus.

Child Care Regulation came to the center at 2:53 PM. When CCR was completing a walk through a infant was sleeping in a swing. CCR asked how long the infant had been sleeping in swing and staff stated since 1:17 PM.
