Observed Violations
STAFFING: 12160 - CCLR s.20(1) - The licensee must not permit a person over the age of 12 to be ordinarily present on the premises of a community care facility while children are present, unless the person is of good character and the licensee has obtained a criminal record check for that person.

Comments

Thank you for your time during this inspection. Upgrades to carpeting and flooring have been completed. Licensing looks forward to a continued working relationship with Charlene's Family Child Care.
The following was discussed:
Minor Incident Log
As discussed, it is recommended that you include the time of the incident; parent notification and any first aid that may have been administered. It is recommended that a bound and numbered log book be obtained for documentation purposes. At this time the Licensee advised that parents are verbally notified and documents that incident in a log book and/or calendar.
Emergency Cards
As discussed, emergency information (e.g. parent contact and emergency contact information, care card #'s, etc.) should be available at all times if going off-site. At this time, the Licensee does maintain photographs of each child on her phone.
Emergency Planning:
As discussed, emergency supplies should be accessible and easy to transport (e.g. wheeled container). At this time, due to recent renovations, supplies have been moved upstairs. It is recommended that an out of province/area contact number be obtained and provided to parents to permit the Licensee to focus all of their attention to the children in care in the event of a disaster (e.g. earthquake). The Licensee advised that should they need to relocate off-site, that nearby schools are available. Licensing recommends that this be confirmed with the off-site relocation sites. A reminder that Child Care Licensing Regulations require the emergency plan be implemented at least once a year.
The Licensee advised that the following would be completed:
Replenishing of resilent surfacing in the outdoor play area where play equipment is utilized. To be completed in the next 2-3 weeks. Please advise Licensing when completed.
Ceiling tile and some baseboard replacement to be completed.
Licensee will be looking into the BC Maintenance Grant for possible funding.
