The pea gravel under the swing set is barely 2" deep over packed dirt. The sand on the Pre-K playground is only loose to a depth of 3-4" and needs to be loosened.

The operation didn't have a current sanitation inspection. The director submitted a request with the health department during the inspection.

A caregiver did not use good judgement when they placed a barrel with an opening in it over a child while the child was having a tantrum. The barrel is normally used as a place for children to be calm and read a book. However, the child was upset by having the barrel placed over them in a way that it was not intended to be used.

The snack menu did not follow the meal patterns established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).

One classroom did not have an emergency evacuation diagram posted.
