2021-10-04 Renewal 3270.91(a) - Stairs, exits, etc. unobstructed Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.91(a)

Description: Stairs, exits, etc. unobstructed

Noncompliance Area: The emergency exit in the Squirrel's Room was blocked by a table.

Correction Required: Stairways, hallways, exits from rooms, exits from the facility and other means of egress serving as an exit shall be unobstructed.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
The exit in the Squirrels classroom (Toddlers) leads directly onto a busy street. We will be reaching out to the city authority for permission to equip the emergency exit door with a hook-eye lock. In case of an emergency, this solution will still enable quick egress while keeping the children safe from opening the door onto the street during daily, routine care services.

If you are a provider and believe any information is incorrect, please contact us. We will research your concern and make corrections accordingly.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
