The licensee and an assistant supervised three infants. The licensee complies with her licensed capacity and limitations.

LPA observed four cribs in the playroom. All cribs were observed to be free of toys, blankets, or pillows inside. The mattresses fit their dimensions, and the bedsheets were snugly secured. The licensee is utilizing an app called Brightwheel to keep track of the infants' sleep logs, children\342\200\231s, and personnel records.

LPA reminded the licensee to ensure that these logs are readily available for printing if the Department requests a copy. Additionally, LPA informed the licensee that sleeping sacks are prohibited. Temporary absence was discussed, and the licensee's questions or inquiries were answered. LPA reviewed the records for both children and personnel. The licensee keeps an accurate record of the child, including vaccination records, parental rights forms, and complete emergency information. The licensee has maintained records of all essential licensing requirements, such as necessary immunizations, valid Pediatric First Aid CPR certification, and a mandated reporter training certificate.
