Introduction

An unscheduled routine inspection was conducted to assess compliance with the Community Care and Assisted Living Act (CCALA), the Child Care Licensing Regulations (CCLR) and the relevant Director of Licensing Standards of Practice (DLSP). Evidence for this report was based on the licensing officer’s observations, review of the facility records, and information provided by the facility staff at the time of inspection.
The following areas were reviewed:
· Licensing
· Physical Facility
· Staffing
· Policies and Procedures
· Care and Supervision
· Hygiene and Communicable Disease Control
· Medication
· Nutrition and Food Services
· Program
· Records and Reporting
As part of this Routine Inspection a Facility Risk Assessment Tool is completed and a copy is provided. The Risk Assessment includes non-compliance identified during the routine inspection, and a 3 year ‘historical’ review of the facility’s compliance and operation.

Comments

The children were in attendance in two separate classrooms and combined on the outdoor play area once child to staff ratio's were in compliance.
Art activities and numerous resources were available in both classrooms.
Six children's files and three staff files were reviewed and all were complete.
The program was open for the first day for the month of April and the maintenance charts were not updated with the new month and the manager communicated that they would be posted this week.
The Manager and Licensing discussed appropriate diaper changing practices in the event a preschool aged child needed assistance.
Hand in Hand is presently working on an Active Play and Screen Use policy and will apply to all facilities.

Thank you for your time during today's inspection.
