Observation: Licensing observed the following:
- the gate that leads to the backyard is held open and fixed to the fence by a string. Licensing tried to close the gate but was unable to because the latch does not close easily.

When playing outside the manager pulls the door closed but it's difficult to open up again.
- The grass is long and the back yard play area has many uneven areas where the children have dug holes. Due the age of children in care it makes it dangerous for younger children to play.
- children have direct access to a generator and air conditioning unit.
- the facility sandbox requires repair, including refilling of sand and a cover for sanitization reasons.
- garbage cans for the house are stored in the middle of the play yard
Corrective Action(s): - Repair the gate
