Observation. - The criminal record check for a person living in the home and who is over the age of 12 years was expired and required renewal.

To reduce potential risk to the children in care, the required documents for all employees must be obtained before they are permitted to work with the children. *Correct by: June 26, 2025.*
- C4.1 - Are facility records current and complete?Non-critical
Observation. - A care plan for a child in care was missing evidence that the plan had been reviewed at least once in the last year. To ensure the the information in a child's care plan is current, a care plan is required to be reviewed annually by the Licensee, the parent of the child, and any person requested by the parent. *Correct by: June 19, 2025.* Other records such as the daily attendance records, child registration and emergency records, the minor incident log, and the outdoor play space inspection log were also reviewed and they were complete and up to date.
- 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. - The play castle in the inside play space was located in a corner of the room. The orange slide attached to the play castle was located right next to the wall. Between the side of the slide and the wall was a gap that could potentially increase the risk of entrapment to the children. The gap between the slide and the wall must be reduced and/or eliminated to prevent parts of a child's body from becoming trapped. *Correct by: June 16, 2025.*
