“Ensure staff files are complete. One staff needs application or personal data sheet, employee declaration signed and health appraisal with TB.”

“Ensure child files are complete. Once child needs parent permissions page. One child needs updated health appraisal.”

“Ensure soap and water and sanitizing solution are available in all the classrooms. Infant room was missing soap and water and sanitizing solution.”

“Ensure medication is stored out of children's reach.”

“Ensure staff files are complete. Staff #1 needs a reference letter and health appraisal with TB results. Staff #2 needs an hour of health and safety training.”

“Ensure child files are complete. Child #2 needs day/hours of attendance, current health appraisal and up to date immunizations. Child #10 and Child #11 need blood lead screening results.”

“Ensure lesson plans contain weekly opportunities for special activities: food/healthy habits, science, music and sensory activities. The 3/4/5 classroom was missing these components.”

“Ensure direct supervision is provided at all times. Upon arrival, Staff #1 answered the door. Staff #1 was responsible for supervising four infants in the infant classroom. When asked, she stated she was grabbing a child's clothing from the dryer. This left the four infants unsupervised for a period of time. This was corrected when the staff member returned to the classroom and LS Kenton discussed supervision with her. Two preschool-age children were observed alone in the bathroom. This was corrected when the two children returned to their assigned classroom and LS Kenton discussed supervision with the staff. An aide was observed alone with a group of nine three and four year olds. This was corrected with a qualified staff member returned from her lunch break and entered the classroom.”

“Ensure staff attendance is documented. Staff #3 did not sign out of the Bright Beginners classroom when she left for her lunch break. Staff #2 did not sign herself into the Bright Beginners classroom when she entered the classroom. This was corrected when the attendance was properly documented.”

“Ensure sufficient staff are present to fulfill, at a minimum, administrative, fiscal, clerical, cleaning, maintenance, food services, direct child care, and supervisory functions. Upon arrival, Administrator [name withheld] was providing direct child care duties. A qualified staff member was not readily available for [name withheld] to step out of the classroom to obtain staff files and child files. This was corrected when a qualified staff member arrived.”

“Ensure staff-to-child ratios are maintained at all times. LS Kenton observed nine two-year-olds with one qualified staff member. This was corrected when one of the children left for the day. An aide was observed alone with nine two-year-olds when he tried to relieve Administrator Beverley, so she could get files from the office. This was corrected when a qualified staff member took over care of the children. An aide was observed changing a child's diaper alone in the bathroom. This was discussed with the administrator and corrected when she agreed to comply in the future.”

“Ensure staff files are complete. Three staff need to complete the Health and Safety Training for Child Care Professionals. One staff member needs an eligibility letter from the Criminal History Unit. One staff member needs a professional development plan.”

“Ensure child files are complete. One child needs blood lead screening results. One child needs an updated health appraisal.”

“Ensure walls are in good repair. The wall under the exit sign above the exterior door in T2 classroom needs to be repaired.”

“Ensure the freezer is at 0 degrees F or colder. According to the three thermometers in the freezer, the freezer is at 20 degrees F.”

“Repair the missing section of fence. Replenish the fall zone areas with nine inches or mulch.”

“Ensure soap and water is available to clean surfaces, items, and equipment. A soap/water solution was not available at the diaper changing area in the boys bathroom.”

“Purchase two foot-activated diaper pails (one for each bathroom). The lids are broken on the two present and no longer work as foot-activated.”

“Purchase safety pins and tweezers for the first aid kit.”

“Submit a plan review to OCCL and receive approval prior to making any changes to indoor areas, classrooms, or outdoor areas of the center. Upon arrival, LS Kenton observed cubbies and cabinets had been moved. This opened two classrooms (three-year-old classroom and four-year-old classroom) up to make one large classroom. This was discussed with the administrator and corrected when she agreed to comply.”
