| 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 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| Findings: During the period of 08/2019 - 07/2020, the Provider only completed 8 hours of training even with the training time frame extension until 12/31/2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

| 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. | |||
