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 (DLSOP). Inspection was conducted over 2 days to observe all the programs in operation.
The following 10 areas were reviewed based on a checklist: Licensing, Physical Facility, Staffing, Policies & Procedures, Care & Supervision, Hygiene & Communicable Disease Control, Medication, Nutrition & Food Services, Program and Records & Reporting.
Evidence for this report is based on the Licensing Officer’s observations, review of facility records and information provided by the manager and staff during this inspection.
As part of this routine inspection, a Facility Risk Assessment Tool was also completed. This tool is used to determine frequency of future inspections by assessing any non-compliance identified during the routine inspection and reviewing the past 3 year operating history of the facility. A copy of the form was provided with this inspection report.
The following were identified as needing correction:

Contraventions
Previous Inspection - Contraventions observed on FIR #SCHE -AHZUDJ have been corrected.
Current Inspection - Items reviewed comply with the Act, regulations & standards of practice except for those noted on supplementary pages.
Observed Violations
PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 11160 - CCLR s.16(3)(a) - A licensee must ensure that the entire outdoor play area is (a) enclosed in a manner that is suitable for the age and development of children, and will ensure that children are free of harm.
Observation: There are 2 distinct and defined outdoor play areas,all enclosed with fencing. There is a third middle section where shrubs have been removed. The manager explained this area will be developed as a "dinosaur dig area" when the weather improves. The only section of concern outdoors is in the larger grass outdoor area where there is a wooden lattice style fencing along the north side of the building. Parts of this fencing have deteriorated and started to pull away from the building, exposing a few staples. A sand play area is adjacent to this fencing. Parts of the wooden edge of the sandbox are also splitting and pulling away. The manager indicated the sand play area would be replaced once the "dinosaur dig" area is installed.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure any loose wooden fencing is secure and staples are removed. Please repair/replace or remove the deteriorating wooden side of the sandplay area. Please provide a plan/timeline for the installation of the "dinosaur dig" area.
Date to be Corrected: Fencing secure by Feb 1/18. Playground plan to be provided by Feb. 28/18.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES: 13050 - CCLR s.56(1)(c) - A licensee must keep current records of each of the following: (c) a record respecting compliance with section 22 (2) (b) and (c) [emergency training and equipment].
Observation: Each program does have records of monthly fire drill practices. The manager could not find any records confirming the practice of the emergency plan. There was a change in manager in Sept/17 and the new manager has not yet practiced the full emergency plan with staff and children. The manager stated she is currently updating all emergency supplies in preparation for any emergency or should an evacuation from the building to another location be necessary.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure emergency plan is practiced at least once per year and recorded.
Date to be Corrected: By Sept. 1/18

RECORDS AND REPORTING: 19090 - CCLR s.57(2)(c) - A licensee must keep, for each child, a record showing the following information: (c) daily attendance record, indicating for each day whether the child is absent or, if the child is present, the time of arrival and departure.
Observation: Although each program does maintain daily attendance records, some revision of the system/forms is needed to record when school age children leave for school and when children move within the building to other programs. School age program attendance indicates when children arrive in the morning but not when they leave or return from school. The preschool attendance indicates the arrival and departure of children who attend just for preschool but doesn't indicate the attendance of the children registered in the Group Child Care (30 months to school age) program who also attend.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure each program maintains complete attendance records indicating time in/time out throughout the day.
Date to be Corrected: Feb. 1/18
