I observed two infants asleep secured in bouncer chairs. This was corrected when CCR staff asked for the sleeping infants to be removed from the bouncer chairs.

Based on information obtained during the investigation, this minimum standard was found to be in deficient. A caregiver did not demonstrate good judgement when transitioning from outdoor play back to the classroom without completing a headcount or name to face check which caused a child to be left outside on the playground for 14 minutes unattended. Also, staff was aware of the incident and did not immediately report or confirm that administrative staff was aware. Multiple staff members assumed that another staff member reported the incident which delayed parent notification of the incident because administrative staff was not aware until closing time.

Based on information obtained during the investigation, this minimum standard was found to be in deficient. A child was left unattended on the playground for 14 minutes and was located by a caregiver of another class during their transition to outdoor play.

Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the minimum standard was determined to be deficient. The operation had implemented procedures requiring caregivers to contact administrative staff prior to taking children outside during periods of extreme heat or when a heat advisory was in effect. However, despite these procedures being in place, a caregiver was able to take a classroom of children outside without obtaining approval from administrative staff. As a result, a child was left unsupervised on the playground for approximately 14 minutes after the remainder of the classroom returned indoors. This incident demonstrated that the operation?s implemented procedures were not effectively monitored or followed to ensure children were protected from potential risks associated with outdoor play during extreme weather conditions and that all children remained accounted for during transitions.

The director failed to ensure the operation maintained compliance by not acting proactively or efficiently to ensure the child received approved nutritional substitutions identified by the parent on the infant feeding instruction sheet, which listed other foods the child was able to consume in addition to milk. The director also failed to ensure the parent and/or emergency contact were contacted, and in a timely manner. Additionally, communication between the director and staff was not clear and concise, resulting in the child not being provided approved food substitutions and going without eating.

Based on the evidence obtained throughout investigation it has been determined that operation staff did not demonstrate good judgment regarding adherence to feeding instructions parents provide to the operation or minimum standards feeding requirements. Nor did the operation staff demonstrate adequate communication with each other clarifying if the child was fed baby food which resulted in a child going without eating.

Based on the evidence obtained throughout the investigation, it was established that a child went without eating from 9:30am until she was pick up from the operation at approximately 4:00pm. Daily report documentation, statements, and video footage only verifies that attempts were made to feed the child milk only although the operation had written approval from the parent to provide table food and those attempts were unsuccessful.

Based on the information obtained throughout the investigation, it was determined that the operation did not provide an incident report to a parent. This was corrected when CCR staff suggested emailing the incident report to the parent during the investigation initiation inspection.

During the investigation the director viewed footage of staff pulling on the child's arm while helping her off the floor. The child's arm was injured as a result of the staff actions.

During the inspection there were safety hazards observed. In one of the toddler bathrooms there was a broken toy with screws sticking out and accessible to the children.

This standard was evaluated in regard to a self report and compliance was not met.

The caregiver has been terminated.
