Upon arrival, LPA met with a staff member, who explained that the director was out today and that another designated representative was on site. LPA met with the designated facility representative, Tom Limbert and explained the purpose of the day's visit. In addition to the designated facility representative, there were five staff (three teachers and two aides) present supervising 31 preschool children.

Facility operates from Bethany United Methodist. Facility is a two floor building. Licensed Program operates on first floor, and the second floor is for staff use only.

During today's visit LPA did a physical plant inspection to check for health and safety hazards and a file review to verify the completion of the facilities plan of correction. In an unlocked classroom closet, LPA observed a bottle of Tylenol in a basket on the back of the door less than 18 inches from the floor.

Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies: Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care. Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care. PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections.
