| Findings: Provider has a 10 month old child enrolled. Provider's registration states that a child must be at least 12 months old to be in care and developmentally able to rest on a cot/mat. The child was not in care during this inspection. The provider stated the child does rest on a cot. However since he is only 10 months old the regulations do not permit him to rest on a cot. Provider needs to purchase an appropriate rest furnishing for a child under 12 months of age. Provider ordered a Graco pack n play during this visit. The provider stated the parent had mentioned that she has a pack n play for the child. Specialist told the provider to have the parent bring her pack n play for the child when he returns to care for him to use until the provider's arrives. Provider is to send pictures of the child using the pack n play and to send pictures when her pack n play arrives. | |||
