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).
Please visit the website www.fraserhealth.ca/childcare for links to the legislation and other resources.
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 licensee/manager 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 was identified as needing correction:
Contraventions
Previous Inspection - Contraventions observed on FIR #SCHE-AJ5RRQ 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: 11190 - CCLR s.16(4)(b) - A licensee must ensure that all indoor and outdoor play materials and equipment accessible to children are (b) safely constructed, free from hazards and in good repair.
Observation: Indoor play materials and equipment are in good repair. Some outdoor equipment is in need of maintenance. Most of the plastic items are showing signs of weathering from year round exposure to the elements. The licensee explained there is no where to store the items during the winter months and does power wash the "Little Tykes" items as soon as the spring weather permits. A section of the wood retaining wall around the playhouse area is starting to pull away, exposing some small staples/nails. As well, some landscape ties that create a border along the north side of the garden shed have started to split and deteriorate, exposing some nails.
Corrective Action(s): Please ensure the outdoor equipment is maintained and the wooden edging and landscape ties are maintained in good repair.
Date to be Corrected: Please provide your plan and timeline to address the items noted. Plan requested by Feb. 9/18.
Comments

Four children present with licensee, involved in indoor play activities. Observed transition from play to washroom routine, lunch time and nap time/quiet time. Licensee attentive to individual needs, getting down to the child's eye level and participating in their play with conversation and questions.

Licensing clarified the need for regular daily recording of arrival and departure times, as per CCLR section 57 (2) (c). The licensee did maintain attendance records since last year's routine inspection but had recently stopped recording arrival/departure times based on a discussion with another care provider. Licensee stated she would return to her previous system of recording arrival/departure times.

Also discussed the licensee's current policy regarding "active play" and "screen time". Licensee explained she plans to revise her current policy when she updates her parent information/contract.

This report was reviewed and discussed with the licensee. Information regarding online CRC renewal will be emailed to the licensee as some CRC's expire in March.

Thank you for your time today.
