The LPA and the licensee both performed careful inspections of the daycare facility to look for any potential health and safety hazards. Toys and equipment that are suitable for children of the proper age range are provided at the daycare. The building has sufficient lighting and ventilation, and it is free of any defects or conditions that put children at risk. The facility is equipped with a first aid kit that is completely loaded with everything that is required for the treatment of injuries. The daycare facility is equipped with a combined smoke and carbon monoxide detector, and a fire extinguisher that is always ready for use. Every garbage can and power outlet has been covered.
