Based on today's observation, the following changes are still needed:

1. Add each child’s name to the individual toy bags so it is easier to distribute
2. Add floor indicators (tape) on floor surrounding children’s tables so teachers know where to stand (avoid getting too close, unless necessary for infants/toddlers)
3. Add child friendly signs regarding facial coverings and physical distancing throughout facility (lunch area, restrooms, classroom, playground) to reinforce practice
4. When disinfecting toys, submerge toys in EPA approved disinfectant or lay out on a table where toys can be cleaned thoroughly
5. Minimize amount of toys available to reduce cleaning or create a rotation of a set of toys to ensure toys are monitored and disinfected after use
6. Discourage communal use of toys and items
7. Remind staff to make disinfectant readily available when outdoors for easy cleaning but out of reach from children (store after use, out of direct sun)
8. Create staggered schedules for staff (break/lunch) as necessary
9. Create additional space between tables (square footage permitting) during snack and lunch time for children, they are vulnerable due to no masks worn during this time
10. Update cleaning log for all classrooms to include toys, surfaces, cribs (infant/toddler) and post in each room for staff to complete daily

The changes referenced above should be completed by 1/20/2021. A follow up inspection will be scheduled to confirm the changes.

An exit interview was conducted with Ms. Campbell and Mr. Fast A copy of this report and notice of site visit (to be posted for 30 days) were emailed to Ms. Campbell and Mr. Fast and it has been explained that a reply to the email shall be considered a substitute for the hard-copy signature.
