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: Building directly behind the daycare and the infant toddler play space is currently under renovation. Manager stated that the Infant Toddler program has not been going outside as it is unsafe. On multiple occasions the facility has found small pieces of metal from the construction. When Licensing conducted the inspection, 3 small pieces of metal (nails, screws, etc) were found while inspecting the play space. Manager indicated that they were told that the construction was going to last a few months and no warning was given in regard to the renovation starting. A discussion was had with the Manager about the Infant toddler program using the Group Child Care (3-5) play space for the next few months while the building is undergoing exterior renovation. Should the construction be longer than a few months, safety measures will need to be put in place in order to mitigate the hazards noted within the infant toddler program in order for the program to be able to safely use their designated outdoor play space. Prior to the infant toddler program using this play space, please address the following:
-Old toys in disrepair (i.e. missing seats, broken pieces)
-Areas of plastic that was installed at the bottom half of the fence is broken in places and can be rough to the touch.
Please also remove any toys that are in disrepair within the GCC 3-5 play space.
Licensing also noted that in the afternoon within the both play spaces, there is minimal shade. Manager stated that they tend to only go out in the morning when there is shade. As the program is now required to have 3 service types share one play space as a temporary measure, some groups may need to come out in the afternoon when there is minimal shade. Please ensure that there is shade available.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure a healthy and safe environment. Please also submit a play schedule which allows for all service types to use the GCC 3-5 program while the renovations are underway next door.
