PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 11010 - CCLR s.13(1) - A licensee must ensure that a healthy and safe environment is provided at all times while children are under the supervision of employees.
Observation: 1) In the outdoor area of the 30 months to School Age program, Licensing observed a detangled hose which poses as a tripping hazard to children.
2) In the washroom of the 30 months to School Age program, Licensing observed duct tape that was peeling off the steel garbage can. The duct tape is not easy to sanitize and can harbour bacteria. As per program staff, the duct tape was originally placed in an "X" form to discourage children from throwing paper towels in it as it is difficult for the cleaners to remove the paper towels at the end of the day. Licensing and staff discussed thinking of alternative ways to block off this section without the use of duct tape.
Corrective Action(s): 1) Please ensure that the hose is stored in a manner to prevent tripping.
2) Please ensure another type of material is used to block of this section of the washroom, one that is more secure and can be easily sanitized.
