Description: Kid's Revolution is Cockeysville's Best Childcare Center! Formerly known as Kim's Karate, we have been a licensed childcare facility since 1998 and part of the Cockeysville community since 1990.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues.

| Findings: Program wants to change the capacity of Karate room capacity. Program states the area was initially measured and could be approved for more than 90 children. Because the director did not have the need for this room to be approved for that many children, she kept it at 30. Director has asked about having this area approved for additional capacity. This supervisor stated that the program will need to get the non-compliances from this and the previous inspection corrected. At the inspection on 8/12/2021, and today's inspection as well, program was also using a the quiet room. This room is not on the license and cannot be used in any capacity until it is added on the license. Program was directed to remove all children from the room today, at this inspection, and moving forward until it is added to the license. In order to use this room it must be on the license. Program must submit a Changes in Child Care Facility form, which must be completed and submitted with all required forms to the Office for both of these changes. The director will need to include personnel paperwork, staffing patterns, and other required papers when submitting the Change form. | |||

| Findings: At the 8/12/2021 inspection, the floors, refrigerator, room that they store children's snacks were cited as not kept clean. During today's inspection, when asked why these areas were not clean, director stated they were not clean yesterday, due to a project the children were doing with food product. These areas were still not clean at today's inspection, and need to be cleaned thoroughly over the weekend and must be maintained clean throughout the day, to prevent infestation of insects and rodents, which are attracted to food product. Correct immediately. | |||
| 2021-08-13 | Other | 13A.16.05.12A | Corrected |
| Findings: At the 8/12/2021 inspection, program was cited for not having an outdoor playground area on the premises, since the center opened. Director states because the program has such a large gym area and that all of the children use this area, for high level of activity (Karate), she was approved to open without an outdoor activity area. She stated she has always been approved for school age child care for before and after school, as well as holiday breaks, days off and summer care. Additionally, the program takes frequent field trips, which usually includes vigorous indoor and outdoor activities. | |||
| 2021-08-13 | Other | 13A.16.07.06A | Corrected |
| Findings: The operator is not ensuring the safety and security of each child at all times. The children who left the premises with Kenyetta and Brynn were placed at risk, because neither of these staff are School age teacher qualified and Brynn has not been cleared through a criminal background check or child protective services clearance. Hannah who was stated to be a volunteer, and Shae, who was reported to be an aide, have also not had criminal background checks or child protective services clearances completed by OCC. There is no way to know if these staff are safe to be around any children in care without these checks and clearances. These staff are not to return to the facility until fully cleared by OCC. Correct immediately. | |||
| 2021-08-13 | Other | 13A.16.08.01A(2)(a) | Corrected |
| Findings: Several staff designated by the operator to provide supervision and care are on site but not approved by the OCC. This is not adequate supervision and care and must be corrected immediately. The director plans to have these staff complete the Notarized Release of Information and get fingerprinting completed this weekend. Only after having this done and receiving notification from OCC that the staff are cleared, are those staff permitted to return. | |||
| 2021-08-13 | Other | 13A.16.08.01A(2)(b) | Corrected |
| Findings: Several staff have not been approved to work here. They are: Brynn, Azaria, Hannah, and Shea. These staff are used throughout the program at various times/rooms. This is poor supervision throughout the center, throughout the day. The director plans to send these staff to be printed over the weekend and have them complete Notarized releases, no later than Monday. None of these staff may return until both the fingerprinting and Releases are received by OCC and program is notified they are cleared. At the 8/12/2021 inspection, program was notified of several violations of inappropriate supervision, including aides and volunteers alone with groups of children, as well as insufficient supervision on a field trip. Today, Shea and Kai were supervising 11 children in the Gym, until William entered the gym. Shae's not approved, Kai is an aide, and cannot appropriately supervise this group of children. 14 children left from the Game Room 1A/1B with Kenyatta, who's an aide, and Brynn, who's not approved. Director was advised she must cancel care for any children over the amount of children the approved staff can appropriately supervise, effective 8/16/2021. | |||

| Findings: Kenyatta and Brynn were observed with a group of 14, leaving the building. Neither are School Age Teacher qualified. Hannah, Shae, and Brynn were assigned to groups, but have not been qualified as School age child care teachers or aides in order to work in any room. Qualifying information must be submitted for all of these staff to OCC immediately. Staff may not return to the center until they are qualified for the position they will hold. The following staff are permitted to work in the following positions: Kai-Aide, Kenyetta-Aide, Catherine-Aide, Jason-School Age Teacher, Jenna-School Age Teacher, Matthew-School Age Teacher, Alysa-School Age Teacher, and William School Age Teacher. Every room and group must have at least 1 approved School Age Teacher.

This includes any and all children on field trips or outside for play. Correct immediately. | |||
| 2021-08-13 | Other | 13A.16.08.03A | Corrected |
| Findings: A group of 14 children left the building with Kenyatta and Brynn. Neither are School age teacher qualified. The Homework room had Matthew and Hannah supervising 19 children. Hannah was not reported and is currently stated by the director, as being a volunteer. Volunteers cannot be a part of the child/staff ratio.
