2020-01-29 Full 13A.16.09.03A Corrected
Findings: The center's block area, table manipulatives, board games, and art materials need to be augmented. There were very few unit building blocks (approx. 20). There were just a couple large handfuls of small legos and very few pieces to other table manipulatives. The art materials consisted of some coloring pages, a tub of torn paper, some colored pencils, scissors. It would be nice to see some paints, playdo/clay, different types of paper, and collage materials. There were some board games but they were in disarray and need to be organized to be sure all pieces are present.
2020-01-29 Full 13A.16.06.02 Corrected
Findings: There was no staff orientation for the director in her file.
