Trinity Lutheran Early Childhood Center

The parent handbook was missing information on daily health checks, procedures for policy changes, and instructions on how to access minimum standards online.

Some of the director's training records for the 2023-2024 training year were not available for review during the inspection.

There was a slide designed for residential use only being used on the playground. This was corrected when the slide was removed from the playground.

The parent handbook did not have procedures for infant safe sleep or hearing and vision screenings, a notification to parents that an animal is present at the center, the benefits of physical activity, criteria that the center will use to determine when extreme weather prohibits outdoor play, a plan for physical activity to occur indoors when weather prohibits outdoor play, procedures for applying insect repellent and sunscreen, the center's policy on employee vaccinations, and information about the center being a gang-free zone.

There was a burp rag present in a crib where an infant under 12 months old was sleeping. This was corrected during the inspection when a caregiver removed the burp rag from the crib.

A caregiver responsible for infants did not have a current training in SIDS.
