Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) We have a very detailed system for maintaining monthly fire drills and within the 30 day guidelines. No system is perfect, and neither are our directors. The fire drills in question were one day late and one was miscounted due to a holiday. Our plan of correction will not include changes to a system with no issues. We will be more meticulous in counting the 30 days and will have a 2nd person to ensure the fire alarm testing is handled within the 30-day requirement. |

Noncompliance Area: While at the facility on 10/23/18 the inspector observed the fencing in the outdoor play space to have metal ties that were broken, creating sharp ends. Also the inspector observed peeled paint on the outdoor decking to be peeling. Correction Required: Floors, walls, ceilings and other surfaces, including the facility's outdoor play space surfaces shall be kept clean, in good repair and free from visible hazards.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The toddler deck area was blocked off on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 and will remain inaccessible to the children until we can complete the needed repair. The rainy weather did not allow us to do our usual outdoor painting maintenance. The peeling paint on the deck area outdoors was scraped in an effort to remove the peeling paint. Cold temperatures now have us looking to the spring to complete painting projects. The metal ties on the fence that were not totally removed when the ties were replaced have been completely removed. Ties that have been replaced have been checked and bent so that no sharp ends will be exposed. Future replacement will follow suit. |
