All indoor and outdoor activity areas used by the children were inspected today. LPAs informed Ms. Bednar that staff must always maintain direct visual supervision of the children during indoor and outdoor activities. When medications are on site, Ms. Bednar stated that they will be in a higher cabinet located in the assistance director's office. A fully equipped first aid kit is kept in each room. There are operational carbon monoxide detectors on site located in the hallways inside building 1 and in each room inside building 2. All required licensing documents were observed posted in the lobby inside building 1 and next to the staff restroom in building 2. Children will be signed in and out in in their rooms.

LPA continued touring the facility and measured all indoor and outdoor activity spaces for the infant, toddler, and preschool areas. The total indoor activity space measured 1050.51 for toddlers, and 2952.03 sq ft for preschoolers. The infant component was not measured today due to infant room 10 in building 2 was not set up and the crib area divider wall was not set up. LPAs will return to measure the infant component. These measurements are sufficient to accommodate the requested capacity for each component.

• Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

• Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.
