LPA observed that hazardous items (disinfectants, cleaning solutions, etc.) were inaccessible to children in care. Due to previous Covid-19 guidelines, the Facility has discontinued providing meals and snacks to the children in care.

The Administrator noted that they are unsure if their meal program will be re-implemented. LPA reviewed care and supervision of children, staffing ratios, health related services (including medications and first aid supplies), furniture, equipment, and fire drills logs. LPA observed all required forms to be posted. Digital Sign/in-sign/out reports were reviewed. LPA observed sinks and toilets to be operable. There are adequate toys, equipment, and supplies available for the children. The outdoor play area was observed to have adequate cushioning material and play equipment to be in safe condition.
