I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Every morning when I wake my girls up and tell them it’s time to get ready for school they get right up and ready. My girls love going to kids corner and like all there teachers. I’m very happy with the service they provide for me and my children, also I appreciate how much they teach my children.

1. Staff member #1 has been let go as an employee due to repeated conversations about supervision that went uncorrected. We have reiterated the policy to our staff members, and the severity of the situation was displayed through the immediate removal of Staff #1 as an employee of the facility. Children will be supervised at all times. (5/15/26) 2. Additionally, as outlined in the required correction, we have reached out to our STARS rep for training options so that we can schedule for all staff members to attend.

Noncompliance Area: An unannounced inspection occurred at the facility. A review of staff files was conducted. See the code sheet for the date of hire. Staff #2 was working at the facility at the time of this inspection, and the file of Staff #2 did not contain a health assessment.

Correction Required: A facility person providing direct care who comes into contact with the children or who works with food preparation shall have a health assessment conducted within 12 months prior to providing initial service in a child care setting and every 24 months thereafter.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
As mentioned in the Record Keeping Policy, this would be caught during the onboarding phase as an employee. This was overlooked due to the fact that the employee was previously a volunteer and therefore they did not go through the full onboarding policy. This has now been changed that regardless or previous employment or association with the daycare, an employee will follow the same checklist to prevent any gaps in the file. As the employee's last day was the day of the inspection, the health assessment has not been updated as the employee is no longer with us and has gone to the Military.
