Comments

The following information was shared with the staff at the time of the inspection:
Supervision - the Director of Licensing Standards of Practice Active Play and Safe Play Spaces speaks directly to active supervision. All staff must practice active supervision, a combination of close proximity and attention, watching, and listening. Staff must be able to move through and see the entire play space. All staff must know how many children are in their care at all times.
Reportable incidents - if a child is involved in a reportable incident as per Schedule H of the Child Care Licensing Regulation child care staff must report it to Licensing within 24 hours. Child care staff must call their Licensing Officer to make this report. If the Licensing Officer is unavailable child care staff are asked to call the Central Intake Line at (604) 587-3936 and ask to speak with the Regional Duty Licensing Officer. This phone number is staffed during regular business hours.
Lead in the water - child care staff are being encouraged to help reduce the amount of lead children may be exposed to. Staff my achieve this by turning on the taps each morning where children access their drinking water and leave the taps running for two to five minutes. The Licensing Officer left a handout on this topic with this report.

If there are any questions regarding this report or any other licensing matter please contact the Licensing Officer directly.

The writer would like to thank the staff for their time and assistance with today's inspection.
