The staff files were not available during my inspection.

A board is broken in half and hanging loose on the hand rail to the ramp leading into the back building.

The loose fill is not at the required six inches according to the heigth of the climbing structure.

The infant caregivers are using the hand washing sink to wash bottles as well as washing hands.

School age room: The cork board on the wall is peeling. The wall near the restroom is peeling. Ceiling Tiles are drooping in the restroom. The vent fan in the restroom is visibly dusty. The white shelf is missing a chunk of material on the top exposing a screw. Outside: On the play structure there is a broken support clamp. Paint is peeling on two of the hand rails used for the ladder part of the climbing structure.

One child's file out of six reviewed is missing a completed immuniztion record.

A whole was observed in the wall in the toddler classroom. Paint was observed chipping and peeling in the pre-k and school age classrooms. The wood hand railing into the pre-k and school age building is split causing the wood to separate and pose a risk for splinters, lacerations, and possible entrapment. Note: Pictures were taken for the file.

The elctrical outlet cover is broken in the school age room. Note: A picture was taken for the file. This was corrected when the director replaced the cover.
