| Findings: On 08/17/2023, a two year old child was injured on the playground underneath the wooden pirate ship due to a screw sticking out of the wood. He required medical attention to include stitches. During today's inspection, it was obvious that the Center attempted to file down several screws that are sticking out of the underbelly of the ship, but they were not sufficiently filed down. The screws were still posing a safety hazard. However, when this was brought to the attention of the Owner, she immediately remedied the situation by putting barriers over the sharp pieces of the screws. In addition, the Owner removed some nails that were not sticking out but were rusty. The Owner also secured a screw that had come away from the intended point of entry. Therefore, this non-compliance was corrected on site. All other outdoor play equipment presented as safe for the children. | |||

| 2023-07-18 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.03.06A(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: During the inspection, a "substitute", HL, showed up to work. This Licensing Specialist was unaware of this staff member as she is not listed on the Associated Parties list. HL reported that she goes to college, but substitutes when she is out of school. When discussed via phone with the Director, she reported that she thought she moved HL to a sub. However, HL was deleted from the Associated Parties list subsequent to a 1203 dated 08/03/2022. Due to the deletion, her CBCs are no longer associated with the Center and her latest release of information was last cleared in 2020. Therefore, HL was instructed to leave the property until she can be cleared via notarized release and applicable fingerprints. Please write a letter of correction stating how the Center will become in compliance with this regulation in the future. | |||

| Findings: Upon arrival of the Director from the field trip, she confirmed that three staff members listed on the Associated Parties list do not work at the Center. The Center must notify OCC of the ending of employment of an individual within five working days of the individual's last day of employment. While the Licensing Specialist was still on-site, the Director wrote a 1203 deleting the three staff members and changing four staff members to substitutes. Therefore, this non-compliance was corrected on-site. | |||

| Findings: It was reported that the number of children may be "over" at the center. Upon reviewing the attendance records from yesterday, there didn't appear to be more than 72 total children present yesterday. There are 93 children currently enrolled at the center which does pose a great risk for having more than the assigned total capacity of 75 children on site. There may be no more than 75 total children on site at any one time. Each classroom also has a limited number of children permitted in it based on the square foot of the classroom and other factors. The assigned capacity is listed on the license. The rooms are not to exceed the numbers of children allowed per the licensed limits. It was evident that there have been times, including yesterday, when at least 1 classroom exceeded the assigned capacity. The upstairs back room is limited to 17 children and there were 19 children in this room yesterday. There are actually 21 children enrolled in the back upstairs room which, even with several part time children, runs a risk of having more than 17 children present. This room may not have more than 17 children at any one time. Please forward corrective action within 30 days. | |||
