ON 4/22/24 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Monica Mathur conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection at A Small World Infant & Toddler Center and met with Licensee/Director, Haseena Dawud. Purpose of today's inspection is to follow up on corrections made to hazards noted in Technical Violations during Annual Inspection on 3/27/24. Today LPA toured the facility, observed classrooms and inspected indoor and outdoor areas. It was observed that the diaper changing table in infant room #1 has been moved into the bathroom near a hand washing sink within arm's reach. Infants in room #2 were observed not using sleep sacks during naptime anymore. The outdoor air conditioning unit has been additionally cordoned off and gaps between fence bars have been covered with chicken wire fence. Haseena states the electrician advised not to add a cover on the top. A staff is always stationed near the unit to ensure children are not reaching out to touch the unit. LPA reminded extra supervision will be required to ensure children safety. All staff now have current Mandated Reporter training certificates on file. Reminded this training needs to be renewed every two years. Children were napping during time of inspection and rooms were in compliance with required ratios today. No deficiency was cited. This report was reviewed with Director, Haseena Dawud. A NOTICE OF SITE VISIT was given, must be posted near front entrance for 30 days.
