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 (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): In 2 nap rooms (under 36 months programs), the following was observed:
-in 1 nap room, there is a table next to a crib. On this table are toys and equipment that have not been stored in a secured manner. There is a potential for these items to fall onto a child in the adjacent crib.
-in the other nap room, there is also a table with a pile of toys and equipment, including a large folded tent that is leaning against the wall and table. There is a potential for these items to fall onto a child.
On the 2nd day of the inspection, Licensing observed that the toys and equipment in both nap rooms have been appropriately addressed by securely storing items and/or storing equipment elsewhere. Corrected during inspection.
Corrective Action(s): Licensing and the Manager discussed alternate ways to store these items in both nap rooms. The Manager plans to either store these items elsewhere and/or in a secure manner, such as underneath the tables instead of on top.
Date to be Corrected: Corrected During Inspection.
PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 11020 - CCLR s.13(2) - A licensee must ensure that the community care facility and the furniture, equipment and fixtures within it are clean and in good repair while children are in attendance.
Observation: In one of the under 36 months and 30 months to School Age programs, there are multiple dents exposing the dry wall and areas of chipping paint. For the 30 months to School Age program, the Manager explained because the cots are stored against this wall, sometimes the cots hit the wall causing these dents and chips. Licensing and the Manager discussed storing the cots elsewhere or implementing a protective surface on this area of the wall. This is a repeat contravention.
Corrective Action(s): Please submit a plan outlining how these areas will be addressed.
