Inspection/Report History
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
| Inspection Date | Reason | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-11-24 | Renewal | 3270.124(b)(1) - Child's name, birth date | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.124(b)(1) Description: Child's name, birth date Noncompliance Area: The emergency contact form on file for child #1 did not specify the child's birthdate. Correction Required: Emergency contact information must include the name and birth date of the child. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The birthdate area was filled out by the parent; however, the parent originally put their birthdate. Following this discovery, we noticed this was corrected on forms in all staff binders and there is a second sheet with the correction in child #1's file. (See attachment) |
|||
| 2025-11-24 | Renewal | 3270.124(c) - Each child care space | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.124(c) Description: Each child care space Noncompliance Area: There was no emergency contact form present in Room 2 for one of the children receiving care in that room. Correction Required: When children are in the facility, emergency contact information shall be present in a child care space for children receiving care in the space. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Child #1 was a late enrollment and his ECF was distributed to each staff member and the change to the birthdate was communicated. The AGS(Executive Director) was serving in the room until the inspector came. The AGS, who had the ECF in her binder, asked another staff member who serves the children in that room regularly to fill in during the inspection, however that person never added the ECF to her binder when it was distributed. The AGS presented the ECF to the inspector but was not working in the room at the time due to the inspection. The staff person was given another copy of the child's ECF and it was placed properly in her binder. |

| 2025-11-24 | Renewal | 3270.14/3270.21 - Pertinent Laws & Regulations/General Health and Safety | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Regulation: 3270.14/3270.21 Description: Pertinent Laws & Regulations/General Health and Safety Noncompliance Area: The following toxics were accessible: hand sanitizer in an unlocked storage area between Rooms 1 & 2; hand sanitizer on a shelf in Room 2; and in the upstairs classroom, hand sanitizer on a desk and disinfectant spray on a shelf. Correction Required: facility shall be operated in conformity with applicable Federal and State laws and regulations. State agencies whose regulations may relate to the operation of a facility include the Department of Environmental Resources, the Department of Labor and Industry, the Department of Health, the Department of Education and the Department of Transportation. Conditions at the facility may not pose a threat to the health or safety of the children. Cleaning and other toxic materials shall be kept in an area or container that is locked or made inaccessible to children. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The inspector determined the hand sanitizer in a child off-limits area between the two rooms, used by staff only, was non-compliant. The doors to this area were immediately locked. Also, hand sanitizer was not visible but discovered when a white board was removed by the inspector. Because all hand sanitizers were previously removed from rooms 1 and 2, this was not noticed during the daily facility check. They were immediately removed when discovered. The hand sanitizers from Room 2 were removed. Furthermore, the doors to the upstairs classroom and second floor of the facility are closed due to lack of use during the fall session. In the large upstairs meeting room, a bottle of hand sanitizer was observed on an enclosed area desk, and a bottle of disinfectant spray was discovered on a desk shelf area. All named toxins were immediately removed from the second-floor meeting room/classroom. |

The documentation of required pediatric first aid/CPR training on file for Facility Person #5 was expired. Facility Person #2 was observed supervising children in a classroom unsupervised. Facility Person #5 supervised children on a vehicle while transporting them, unsupervised. Correction Required: A facility shall be operated in conformity with applicable Federal and State laws and regulations.State agencies whose regulations may relate to the operation of a facility include the Department of Environmental Resources, the Department of Labor and Industry, the Department of Health, the Department of Education and the Department of Transportation. Conditions at the facility may not pose a threat to the health or safety of the children.. Until such time as the required pre- service trainings are completed, Facility Persons #2 and #5 must be supervised, when interacting with children at a minimum by, an AGS who has completed all preservice trainings and has all qualifications to care for children unsupervised. If there are no staff person(s) available to supervise staff persons #2 and #5-, staff persons #2 and #5 may not work in a child-care position at the facility. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Staff members 2 and #5 were always supervised immediately following the inspection as they awaited the upcoming CPR/First Aid training. Due to rising costs and staff accessibility issues associated with free training along with the impact on the SHCDP 2025 budget, paid CPR training sessions will be hosted by SHCDP twice a year. SHCDP Facility person #2 is a new hire and the AGS(Executive Director) was in the room until the inspector came. The AGS asked another person to fill in but that person ended up leaving the position during the inspection. Facility person #5 just returned to the organization for the fall programming. Both people are scheduled for training during our next session on January 14, 2026. We understand that Facility persons #2 and #5 must be supervised if they interact with children; and if no qualified staff person is available to supervise, Persons #2 and #5 may not work inside the facility nor transport them. |

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Facility person #5 went to [their] regularly scheduled doctor's appointment in December. [They] forgot the form to have the physician fill out. He called the office and they promised to send it to him after the holidays. To ensure his biennial assessment is completed in a timely manner, we again requested a completed form from the physician. We also spoke with said Facility person and staff during the annual January staff meeting and reminded them that they cannot wait until the last minute to renew certifications. They need to book appointments one month in advance to in this case, coincide with health insurance plans and the number of times they can have check-ups during the coverage year. |

As explained in a prior inspections, SHCDP receives food from an external resource, a government agency that relies on donations and menus are distributed within the week before the first of the month. We continue to request the menus when we do not have them in a timely manner to meet the regulation and receive them accordingly. Admittedly, since this violation has been brought to the attention of the food providers, we have received the menus earlier during recent months than in the past. In this case, the Thanksgiving holiday began the next day. We received the December menu upon return to the program. The menu was emailed the day following the inspection. |

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The first aid kit was replaced and secured inside the vehicle. It was removed to give a Band-Aid to a child and unknowingly was never replaced by the other staff member.

Due to weather, this area is not used as much during the months of November-March. All the bolt coverings were recently replaced, and intact as observed during the inspection. However, the very bottom one was probably the result of deer and rabbits which often try to gain access through this entry gate of the fence.
