| Findings: Upon review of children's records, it was revealed that child LQ needs another MMR vaccination and another Varicella vaccination. Child HQ needs another MMR vaccination. It is possible that the Provider just needs to obtain an updated immunization record for each child. It was also revealed that children BQ, HQ and WG need a blood lead test with results. It is also possible that they have had the blood lead test and the Provider just needs to obtain the test results. Please advise the respective parents of the need for the vaccinations and/or the blood lead test results. Provide these to OCC for the correction of this non-compliance. | |||

| 2022-05-12 | Mandatory Review | 13A.15.09.01B(6) | Corrected |
| Findings: When asked, the Provider denied having a screen time policy. Provider needs to write a screen time policy that reflects the regulations governing screen time policies.

| Findings: During the in-person inspection, children were initially found to be "napping". All children, except the two year old child, were laying on the carpeted floor. None of them had a bed, cot, mat or sleeping bag. The two year old child was standing in a pack'n'play. A three year old child was awake and sitting in a car seat, but not strapped in it. Provider said that she is emotionally "attached" to it and would move her if she fell asleep in it. Provider reported that she did not have any approved sleep sources except the two pack'n'plays. Provider does not currently have any children of the age to use a pack'n'play as a nap source. Purchase and use appropriate sleep sources as soon as possible and show use of them to OCC. | |||

| 2021-06-02 | Full | 13A.15.07.07A | Corrected |
| Findings: During the in-person inspection, Provider was not requiring the children 5 years old and older to wear a face covering which remains a requirement by MDH/MSDE due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Provider is also not using the COVID-19 checklist or recording the temperatures of the children. She reports that she asks questions regarding COVID symptoms and regarding contacts. She also reports checking their temperatures, but does not record the answers or the temperatures. Provider previously agreed to do so. Licensing Specialist emailed her the COVID symptom checklist after the completion of the inspection. In addition, during the inspection, a three year old child was observed to be sitting in a car seat. This is an unsafe practice as it is not an approved sleep source and she could fall out of it and become entangled in the straps; possibly causing a strangulation hazard. Please write a letter of correction to address the car seat issue. | |||
| 2021-06-02 | Full | 13A.15.09.01A | Corrected |
| Findings: During the in-person inspection, the written schedule of daily activities was not posted nor could the Provider produce one. It is very important to follow this as children need structure as well as a well-balanced variety of activities. Please show proof of an accurate and posted schedule of daily activities to OCC. | |||
| 2021-06-02 | Full | 13A.15.10.01A(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: During the in-person inspection, the Provider could not locate her emergency disaster plan. She reported that she gave it to OCC. This plan should remain with the Provider, available to the parents and easily accessible. This is what should be used to direct emergency disaster drills and be utilized should there be a real disaster. Please develop this and post it, showing OCC proof of having done so. It should also be updated annually. | |||
| 2021-06-02 | Full | 13A.15.10.01A(3) | Corrected |
| Findings: Provider admits to not practicing any emergency disaster drills. These must be practiced and recorded, at least, twice per year. Please begin to do so and show proof to OCC of doing so. In addition, the Provider could only produce recorded fire drills from 01/2021 through 04/2021. Provider did not complete a fire drill for the month of May of this year. Fire drills are to be conducted and recorded monthly and kept for 2 years. | |||
