| Operator did not provide a physically safe and healthy indoor and outdoor environment that meets the developmental needs of the children in care. • An unlocked desk drawer less than five feet from the ground was observed to contain one loose AAA battery and several other batteries of assorted sized, greater than twenty loose push pins, one cough drop, and one strip of staples. Ms. Glover cleaned this drawer out during the visit; she placed the White-Out into locked storage and made all other items inaccessible to children. On the playground, one screw, sharp to the touch was observed on the ground near the shed. This screw was removed from the play area during the visit. One board had become detached from the fence, creating an entrapment hazard measuring 5 inches near the top and exposing two sharp nails; Mr. Glover reattached this board during the visit. Pieces of trash, including a plastic wrapper, two metal cans, sharp to the touch, a plastic water bottle, and thin cardboard were observed on the playground; Mr. Glover disposed of these items during the visit. One metal shovel, one metal hoe, one set of garden shears sharp to the touch, and one metal rod were observed inside the play area in unlocked storage and accessible; Mr. Glover placed these items into locked storage during the visit. Two metal benches were observed to be rusting; Mr. Glover went out during the visit to purchase a paint spray to cover the rusting areas. Fabric weed block was observed emerging from the ground in greater than five places on the playground, creating a potential choking hazard for children under three years of age. Mr. Glover stated he would remove the weed block from the playground. It is important to monitor the outdoor learning environment for any safety issues so children enrolled can safely explore the play area. I recommended Ms. Glover consider adding these items to her outdoor playground inspection and monitoring this area for potential hazards daily prior to children enrolled using the space. | |||

This has been the best daycare I have ever enrolled my kids into. My baby girl had separation anxiety and only after 1 week of being there she is outgoing and lovessss daycare. She is 1 and already being taught to potty and has been going to the bathroom at home. I would recommend this daycare for anyone who has doubts about daycare facilities. As mommies we worry about how our babies are being treated. At this daycare I can say 100% that there is nothing but love and kindness. See for yourself!
