Observations inside the facility:
- The nap room is cluttered and a crib was observed to have the bed on the ground, unsupported by the frame. The Manager said that children like to pull on the frame which moves the metal hinge, thus the bed part drops to the floor. The Manager said that the crib is older and she will be replacing the crib.
- Areas of the facility were observed to be in need of sweeping. The Manager corrected this after it was noted.
- General cleanliness of the facility and clutter was discussed with the Manager.
