Assistant Director was reminded that all adults 18 and over, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a Child Care Center. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/per day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

During the inspection of the indoor activity space, LPA did not observe any items which could pose a danger to children (poisons, detergents, cleaning compounds, medications, or hazardous items). Britta is used to provide filtered drinking water to children in care. Children also bring their water bottles labeled with their names from home that are refilled through the day.
