• C4.1 - Are facility records current and complete?Non-critical

  Observation. Licensing reviewed a sample of child registration records at the facility. The start date recorded is the current month and year and does not reflect the actual first day the child started attending the facility. The Manager explained the registration forms are updated each year and the previous year's form is kept in storage offsite. Ensure all child records for children currently attending are revised to include the actual day month and year the child first started attending the program. The end date reflects the last day the child attends and will not be returning to care. Information was exchanged regarding what required information for children should be reviewed and updated.

• Is the facility’s radon gas level in compliance with the 200 Bq/m3 limit ?Non-critical

  Observation. Lab results received indicate the facility's radon gas level was not in compliance with the acceptable limit. Mitigation has been completed by the Licensee. Second testing over a 91 consecutive days during the winter months November to March is required. The follow up date provided reflects the timeline for the Licensee to submit to Licensing a report verifying the start and end dates of a 91 day testing period between the months November to March with the average measurement of the radon level. If this is not possible, then the Licensee must notify Licensing and request an extension to the timeline to accommodate testing deployment during the winter months beginning in November 2023.

Licensing reviewed the concerns received with the facility staff and confirmed the incident occurred. Licensing has determined the allegation substantiated.

• C7.1 - Is the facility safe, sanitary, free from hazards, in good repair, and appropriate for the age and development of children?Non-critical

  Observation. During today's inspection Licensing observed the front entrance stair and railing to be in disrepair. Paint has peeled away and some wood is starting to splinter. One of the stairs has begun to come apart. Licensing acknowledges the Licensee may apply for funding to assist in purchasing materials to fix or replace the stairs and railings. Please submit to Licensing by the follow up date provided the corrective measures to ensure any risk of injury to children has been adequately addressed. Licensing also acknowledges the Licensee may apply for funding for additional storage, replacement of tables used by the children in care, and other furniture. One of the bathroom doors is missing and would be an asset to ensure privacy for when the older children are in care.
