In the infant and toddler classroom we removed the foam blocks at the time of the inspection. To clarify for any potential parent enrollments the term "garage space" is being referenced but it is a beautiful classroom that has been inspected by local municipality and has an occupancy permit. This space is fully finished and was customized as a childcare classroom, it does not have any garage doors, and it is not its own separate building. This is simply being referenced as a descriptive term to define our childcare spaces.

2025-03-19 Renewal 3270.21/3270.76 - General Health and Safety/Building Surfaces Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.21/3270.76

Description: General Health and Safety/Building Surfaces

Noncompliance Area: On 3/19/25, several free-range chickens were observed in the outdoor playspace. Chicken feces was observed on the ground of the outdoor playspace. Per staff statements the chickens are able to access the playspace without restriction. The chickens are not removed from the playspace prior to children utilizing the outdoor playspace.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
On 3/19/25 during our time of state inspection the solution agreed upon in regard to the states concern that chickens, pose a possible threat to health and safety of children, is ensuring the play yard gate be closed. We reviewed the regulations in regard to childcares and chicken involvement with children. During our staff interview, we felt confident sharing that we do not have any aggressive chickens, our chickens are friendly, healthy and are free range on our acre of land, we feel if the concern is just the possibility of chicken poop in the play space that closing the play yard gate is a very acceptable solution.

Regulation: 3270.27(a)(5)/3270.27(e)

Description: Emergency plan/Letter to parents

Noncompliance Area: The facility's emergency plan and parent letter explaining the emergency procedures lacked accommodations for children with chronic medical conditions.

Correction Required: The facility shall have an emergency plan that provides for accommodations for infants, toddlers, children with disabilities, and children with chronic medical conditions. The operator shall provide to the parent of each enrolled child a letter explaining the emergency procedures. The operator shall also provide to the parent of each enrolled child a letter explaining any subsequent update to the plan.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Our emergency plan did not detail meeting the need for chronic medical conditions, it had a plan for children with disabilities. We learned the importance of adding and addressing the plan to meet the needs to include chronic medical conditions, as it may be different then the vague definition of a disability. The state helped us to include a policy that met the regulation and worked for our childcare's needs. We are happy to include this change as we would want to ensure all children have needs met during an emergency.

The operator shall document the date of each training and the names of all facility persons who received the training and kept on file at the facility.

Regulation: 3270.32(a)/3270.192(4)

Description: Comply with CPSL/CPSL information

The staff member has obtained all current clearances before the time of this inspection occurring. We updated all of the clearances as she was a re-hire and will ensure in the future to complete a staff data sheet at the time of onboarding for all staff members regardless of re-hiring. This was a rare occurrence and not our standard hiring process.
2025-03-19 Renewal 3270.76 - Building Surfaces Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.76

Description: Building Surfaces

Noncompliance Area: In the Garage Space, there was a hole in the wall under the window facing the road as well as two holes under the large double windows facing the wooded area. The wood on the bottom of the closet in the Main Space was splintered. The indoor/outdoor carpet covering the surface of the outdoor play space was bunched up creating a tripping hazard.

Correction Required: Floors, walls, ceilings and other surfaces, including the facility's outdoor play space surfaces shall be kept clean, in good repair and free from visible hazards.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
In our infant/toddler room we had removed a baby gate and have since patched and painted to repair the wall from the baby gate installation. We have added a covering around the bottom of the doors to protect against the possibility of children grabbing the bottom of the doors and possibly receiving a splinter. In our play yard we pulled the outdoor carpeting to eliminate the tripping hazard.
