Observation: During the inspection licensing asked the Director where the children and the staff wash their hands after toileting. The Director stated that the staff use the sink located in the kitchen area to wash the children's and the staff's hands after toileting.

The Director stated that the children do not use the washroom as they have diapers and the staff use gloves. Licensing discussed the importance of children washing their hands after each diaper change as they may come into contact with contaminated surfaces and the need for staff to practice appropriate hygeine through hand washing to ensure the continued heath and safety of children in care.
