Willow Tree Child Care and Learning Center

A child in care was left unsupervised outside in the back of the daycare building near the detached playground for approximately three minutes. The caregiver responsible for the child, did not properly account for all of the children exiting the building before entering the playground. This led to the child being left behind and placed at risk of harm.

A caregiver did not wash a child's hands after a diaper change.

Toddlers were observed sitting in high chairs equipped with safety straps and the children were not strapped in.

A toy plastic kitchenette outside had an exposed sharp jagged edge. A photo was taken. This was corrected at inspection when the kitchenette was thrown away.

Center director's Pediatric CPR/First-Aid certification was expired. An appointment was made during inspection for recertification.

Three employee files did not have dates of employment.

An emeregency preparedness plan was not included in the day care's operational policies.

Water was not served to the pre-k class during lunch.
