During todays’ inspection, the following deficiencies were observed;

Upon entering the facility, LPAs observed Staff #1 in classroom #1 supervising 16 children by herself. Staff #2 was present in the children’s restroom, located away from classroom #1 in the hallway of the facility. LPA informed Director of such observation and that teacher-to-child ratios of 1:12 are to be maintained at all times. If a teacher has to step out of a classroom, it is expected that the ratio of 1:12 is still being maintained. This posed a potential risk to the health, safety, and personal rights of children in care.

During inspection of the outdoor play area, LPAs observed several pieces of animals droppings/feces in the wood chips and grass area where children have access for outdoor play time. LPAs also observed pieces of trash/plastic wrappers on the outdoor surface area. LPAs informed director of such conditions and that this posed a potential risk to the health, safety, and personal rights of children in care.

End of deficiencies observed.
