Unannounced Inspection

[Annalee]

I have mine separated with a "play yard" from Walmart. I ordered a couple extra links to make it big enough. Hope this helps!

Lowes has a/c "protectors". They don't cover the top though! Mine us tall enough that the kids can't reach over it.

In CA we can only serve 4 oz of 100% juice a day. We can only serve 1% milk, which I hate and have refused to serve so far.

"All homes shall conduct fire and disaster drills at least once every six months, and document the date and time of each drill." "The licensee must conduct a fire drill with the daycare children and proof of the correction must be submitted to the Department by 8/24/2012."

Tomato leaves are poisonous.

Evidently they've had some injuries lately where kids have dropped rocks down into the blades of the ac units and the rocks have shot back out.

What are they willing to acept as proof of the fire drill? I have woried for sometime that I can not prove we had a fire dril? I do write them down is the realy enougph. I am in Santa Clara County and like I said they told me one or twice a year.

I am near you and you are correct. You only have to have them every six months. there is a form that they give you when you started your daycare that is called a fire/disaster drill log. I think you can create your own too, as long as you track the date, time and number of children that were in your care on that day.

All you have to do is document:
1 - type of drill (fire or earthquake)
2 - date and time
3 - number of children (I write down the names)
4 - evacuation location

You can write it on a calendar or on a log. As long as you have written down that you did it along with all the particulars, that's acceptable. They take your word for it. I hadn't done one in 7 mos, so I was a month behind.

He classified it under poisonous materials (detergents, poisons, cleaning supplies, etc).

In all honesty, I'm happy that that's the worst he could come up with.

[Crystal]

Yeah, not bad really! Especially with 0 unnanounced visits in all the years you have been in business!

I've always had the analyst call to ask if I was still in business. If that's not saying, hey, I'm on my way, I don't know what is.

That stinks . I hope there is somewhere to specify that it was a tomato plant, not a cleanser left out for the kids to play with. We had our surprise inspection today, too. Must be that time of year.

That's right...he obvously had to stretch to find something. So you are actually doing very, very well and can be proud of your business.

They are random here too, which makes sense. I need to keep up a few areas now that I think about it
