Comments

During inspection Licensing reviewed the communication book/ minor incident logbook and noted that some entries have been written in pencil and not signed. Licensing reminds the Licensee that the minor incident logbook is a legal document and all entries should be written in pen and signed by the person who wrote the entry.

During inspection children were picked up from school and walked back to the facility. Once at the facility children were offered water, had a quiet reading time and then were engaged in free play. The free play consisted of: a group of children playing a tic tac toe game, then creating a marble game; another group of children were creating with lego and singing.

During inspection Licensing observed the staff person interacting with children while they were engaged in their activities.
