On 9/29/21 at 11:15 am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Wisehart conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to the facility and met with Director Joan Schreiner. It was alleged that the facility is not taking precautions for COVIID 19, specifically with social distancing and mask wearing. Though social distancing is encouraged it is not required so LPA investigation was focused on mask wearing. The Director stated that they follow COVID 19 protocols. They take staff and children temperatures twice a day; toys are rotated/cleaned 2-3 times a day; facility stopped share day so nothing is brought from home, parents complete symptoms form daily and children wash hands immediately upon arrival. It was also stated that they distance children throughout the day, including putting 4 children per table which sits 8 children. The Director did acknowledge that they tried face shields but they quickly got soiled with salvia, mucus which required constant cleaning so they stopped using them. LPA Wisehart observed multiple COVID signs at the lobby entrance at 11:40 am. At arrival at 11:15 am LPA Wisehart observed in 3 classrooms that children were not wearing masks indoors for a total of 59 children. LPA Wisehart did observe that 7 staff which were present were wearing masks indoors. The LPA observed at 11:35 am that the facility has on site a large box full of face shields.
