Sample inspector narratives
A 15 month old was observed to be in a classroom with a 4 year old. This was corrected at inspection when the 15 month old was moved to the infant room.
There were 9 month infants combined with children as old as 4 years old.
There was a 7-month-old infant napping in a classroom with children that were more than 18 months older than the child. The oldest child in the group was 31 months (Note: This was corrected during the inspection when the older children were moved).
