Carter Creek KinderCare

At the time of the walk through there was a 12 month to 16 month class that had 8 children and 1 caregiver during naptime, leaving the classroom out of ratio. This was corrected at inspection by adding an additional caregiver into the classroom. This placed the classroom back into ratio, with 8 children and 2 caregivers.

There was not enough loose fill on the infant playground, there was concrete showing from the playground structure.

The outside gate was open and the children had access to an apartment complex's parking lot.

During the inspection a 3 year old child in care was observed running through the hallway and going into the office without the caregiver nearby. The caregiver was in the kitchen when the child in care ran down the hallway and into the office area. This was immediately corrected during the inspection when the child in care was taken back to the caregiver in charge.

One of the transportation vehicles did not have a current inspection sticker. The vehicle inspection sticker had an expiration date of 11/2022. The vehicle inspection expired 14 months prior to the date of this inspection.

An attempt was made to survey 4 personnel records in regard to training. The 4 files were not available for review.

While reviewing staff records there were two caregivers without high school completion verification on file.

While observing classrooms during naptime childrens nap mats were side by side with no adequate space to walk through.
