Date Type Regulations Status
2026-01-21 Full 13A.16.03.04C Corrected
Findings: One child needed his emergency card updated. This was corrected during the inspection when mom dropped him off for care.
2026-01-21 Full 13A.16.06.12B(3) Corrected
Findings: The aide needed to complete the 2025 Basic Health and Safety training by 12/31/25. It has not been completed. She needs to complete this immediately and send a copy of the certificate to specialist.
2026-01-21 Full 13A.16.10.02E Corrected
Findings: First aid kit needs an operable flashlight, a thick gauze pad, and one more roll of gauze.
2025-01-15 Mandatory Review 13A.16.05.06 Corrected
Findings: The program is located in the gym of a public school. The school is under renovation. The temperature in the gym registered 62 degrees on the specialist's thermometer. The school needs to find a way to keep the gym at 65 degrees (at least) at floor level. If space heaters are brought in they may not become hot to the touch to avoid a child getting burned and must shut off if tipped over. Specialist states that a conversation with the fire marshal as to the safest way to get the temperature up should occur.
2024-01-18 Full 13A.16.02.01E Corrected
Findings: Center did not have a license posted. Center recently had to pack things up while the school did some work in their space and now the license can't be located. Center needs to get a license posted.
2024-01-18 Full 13A.16.03.02E Corrected
Findings: A sample of children's records was reviewed. There was a 5 year old child enrolled who only had the 1 year old lead blood test. The child is missing the two year old lead blood test. Center needs to receive evidence that the child has had a lead blood test at 2 years of age or later.
2024-01-18 Full 13A.16.03.03B(4) Corrected
Findings: Center couldn't locate its fire drill and disaster plan practice record. Center needs to begin a new record now and be sure to do fire drills each month and disaster practices twice a year and record them.
2024-01-18 Full 13A.16.10.01A(3)(d) Corrected
Findings: The disaster plan had not been updated annually. This was corrected during the inspection.

2021-07-06 Full 13A.16.10.01A(1) Corrected
