The CCC has a carbon monoxide detector which was tested at 10:20 AM and found to be operable. The restrooms used for care are in safe and sanitary operating condition. LPAs observed an operable refrigerator in the CCC's kitchen area which contains some food items for the children’s consumption. The CCC provides (morning and mid day) snack for children, while lunches can be provided by either parents or the CCC. CCC staff inspect the children's lunches to ensure the lunches contain healthy items from the essential food groups. LPA notes there is available drinking water (water hydration stations) for children both inside the CCC and outside in the play area.
