“During the inspection, it was found that there are two holes in the wall of the play room that are at child-level.

“During a review of children's records, it was found that a four year old boy does not have any evidence of any immunizations in his file. A three year old boy does not have Health Inventory Part I or Part II in his file. A three year girl was found to not have enough immunizations for her age. Please notify the respective parents of the needed documentation. It is recommended that the parents be given a deadline in order to obtain these documents. Please send a copy of evidence of both children having the correct number of age-appropriate immunizations as well as a copy of the three year old boy's completed and signed Health Inventory Part I and Part II to OCC for the correction of this non-compliance.”

“During a review of emergency forms, it was found that a two year old girl's emergency form is missing her physician's phone number and a sibling group of a 4 year old girl and a 2 year old boy are both missing their physician's address on each of their emergency forms. Please notify the parents of the missing information, have them add the identified information, initial and date the form for the updated information. Please send a copy of the three emergency forms with the added information for the correction of this non-compliance.”

“When the Licensing Specialist arrived, the Provider was observed to be outside of the fenced in play yard and in her yard near the driveway. She was directing a delivery truck to pull around to the side. The Provider went to the play yard soon after seeing the LS. When this Specialist went into the play yard, four children, one of whom has special needs, were observed to be playing in the fenced in yard. The fence is now a chain link fence versus the solid wooden privacy fence. Provider said that she could see the children, but agreed that she probably could not have been able to render immediate assistance should one of the children have needed it. Discussed having a substitute present to assist during the delivery so that no child would be unsupervised, out of sight or sound or unable to receive immediate assistance. Provider stated that they purchased the item yesterday and it was delivered today, so she was unable to secure a substitute. She also reported that she intended to tell them to pull around when they called before arrival, but they never called. Please write a letter of correction stating how you will be in compliance and provide adequate supervision in the future.”

“An electrical socket located on the wall directly behind a child's seat at the lunch table is missing a cap or plug. One of the sockets of the electrical outlet is plugged, but the other socket is neither plugged or capped. All of the children currently present in care are younger than five years old except one of them. When this was brought to the attention of the Provider, she stated that it must have fallen out. She found a cap on the floor and then capped the unplugged socket. However, it fell out. The Provider then replaced it with a different cap. Therefore, this non-compliance is now corrected. Please ensure that all electrical outlet sockets are either plugged or capped at all times.”

“There is an area in the ceiling of the children's bathroom that is in disrepair. It looks as though there may be a water leak. When the Provider was asked, she reported that they have previously repaired it, but the issue returns. She denies being able to find the source of the issue. Please repair the ceiling and send pictures of the repair to OCC for the correction of this non-compliance.”

“During a review of children's emergency forms, it was found that a four year old boy's emergency form does not have the child's address or the child's physician's address listed on the form. It was also found that a three year old's date of birth was listed on the emergency form as 10/20/24, but other medical documents in the file list the child's date of birth as 10/20/21. Please notify the respective parents so that they can add or modify the required information on their child's emergency form, initial and date the form to indicate the update. Then send a copy of the completed and/or corrected and subsequently updated forms to OCC for the correction of this non-compliance.”

“During a review of children's records, it was found that a two year old has not had his 24 month old blood lead testing. It was also found that another two year old has not had any blood lead testing. Please inform the parents so they may schedule blood lead testing with their respective physicians. This correction can be achieved by receipt of the child's blood lead test results or by written proof of notification to the parents of the need for blood lead testing forwarded to OCC.”

“There is only evidence in one out of the six children's records that the family was provided a Consumer Guide to Regulated Child Care or the way in which to obtain it. It is recommended that the Provider add it to her handbook or contract or add an addendum providing the link to the Consumer Guide and have the parent sign that they have received it. Please forward proof to OCC that you have provided the link to the parents in some way for the correction of this non-compliance.”

“Provider needs to add that she has a hamster located in the day care area within her written agreement with each child's parent. This could be added to the handbook or contract or be in the form of an addendum that the parent signs. Please provide proof of this for the correction of this non-compliance.”
