Sample inspector narratives
A toddler child in care was wearing a bracelet.
During inspection, a bin in the Toddler classroom was observed with water beads accessible to the children. Note: This was corrected at inspection when the water beads were removed from the classroom and thrown away.
In the toddler/prek3 classroom, two year old children were observed and choking hazards were present in the play areas, in access to children under the age of 3.
