  Observation. Licensing observed the following: - Soapy water spray was not available for cleaning surfaces in all rooms for the two-step cleaning process. Licensing was informed that soapy water spray and bleach/water spray are usually available in all classrooms; however, today it was missing. - Rough edges were beginning to show on some of the play mats and couches, affecting their ability to be properly cleaned. - In the Adventure Room, storage items such as bins and boxes on open shelves above the children’s napping area were not all secured, which may pose a falling hazard. - Some sleeping mats were observed to have bedding touching while on the ground and while being stored, which increases the risk of cross-contamination. - In the Infant Room, two sleeping cribs did not have space between them, which increases the risk of cross-contamination. The cribs were rearranged to create space between them during the inspection. - Some personal creams provided from home for their child are expired.
