Introduction

An unscheduled routine inspection was conducted to assess compliance with the Community Care & Assisted Living Act (CCALA), the Child Care Licensing Regulation (CCLR) and the relevant Director of Licensing Standards of Practice (DOLSP). Evidence for this report was based on the Licensing Officer’s observations, review of the facility records and information provided by the facility staff at the time of inspection. Four children were present with the Licensee at the time of this inspection. The following areas were reviewed: · Licensing · Physical Facility · Staffing · Polices & Procedures · Care & Supervision · Hygiene and Communicable Disease Control · Medication · Nutrition and Food Services · Program · Records and Reporting As part of the routine inspection a Facility Risk Assessment Tool is completed and a copy is provided. The Risk Assessment includes non-compliance identified during the routine inspection and a 3 year “historical” review of the facility’s compliance and operation.

Observed Violations

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: At the time of this inspection, it was noted that items were stored on a narrow window ledge above the naproom area where a playpen and sleeping mat are located (book, car on a metal coiled stand). Concern is that should the items inadvertently fall there is potential for injury to occur. Corrective Action(s): Ensure storage of items and/or heavier items on shelving that may have potential for injury to a child are relocated and/or secured to prevent falling - e.g. in the event of an earthquake..
