Observed Violations

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: The Licensing Officer (LO) observed/noted the following: 1) in the washroom there were individual cloth towels for the children to dry their hands on. The LO washed their hands upon arrival and there were no paper towels to dry their hands. When the LO asked the Licensee for a paper towel they were directed to use the toilet paper in the washroom. There was no garbage can in the washroom. The Licensee is using a open box to recycle used toilet paper rolls and toilet paper used for drying hands. 2) in the nap room the LO observed 6 mats laid out in a row with no spacing in between the mats. Corrective Action(s): The LO discussed with the Licensee the need to have paper towels located in the washroom to dry hands. The use of toilet paper is not permitted as there is the possibility of cross contamination from an individual using the toilet and the person using the same roll to dry their hands. The practice of using toilet paper to dry hands must stop effective April 22, 2020. The LO observed the Licensee sanitizing the children's lunch table however the Licensee used toilet paper to dry the table (this roll was straight from the package). While there is no legislative requirement prohibiting this practice the disintegration of the toilet paper occurred once it became wet and small pieces were breaking off. Licensing recommends the use of paper towels in lieu of toilet paper. The Licensee must provide a garbage can for discarded items in the washroom. This contained must be of a nonporous material in order for it to be able to be washed and sanitized. In discussion with the Licensee the LO explained cloth towels are to be placed in a laundry hamper after each use and laundered daily. Alternatively the Licensee may provide paper towels for the children. The sleeping mats need to be laid out in a manner that the mats and children's bedding do not come in contact with other mats and children bedding to prevent cross contamination. Please refer to the COVID 19 resource provided to the Licensee today entitled "Cleaning and Disinfecting in Childcare". Date to be Corrected: 22 April 2020
