CUP CHILDCARE (Cupid -- Central United Protestant Church Daycare)

Observation

2)c) On the preschool playground, there were several jump ropes that were somewhat tangled and hanging on one of the slats in the low fence around the sand area. They pose a strangulation hazard when stored in this way and should be stored inaccessible to children when not in use during supervised activities. 2)d) In the cabinets in classroom 4, there were supplies stored in plastic bags that pose a hazard of suffocation. These cabinets were accessible to children. 2)d) In the cabinet under the diapering station in the infant room, there are diapers stored in plastic bags that pose a hazard of suffocation. There was also a plastic bag with extra clothing in one of the cabinets under the sink. The cabinets are at child level and were not secured to prevent child access. 2)d) There was a plastic bag hanging in one of the children's cubbies outside classroom 2X that was accessible to children, posing a hazard of suffocation. 3)a) There is a splintered, broken board along the bottom of the siding on the building in the preschool playground. There are rusted nails protruding from the areas where the board has deteriorated. This poses a hazard of cuts, abrasions, and punctures. 3)a) There is splintered, broken wood on many of the natural wood rounds on the preschool playground. This poses a hazard of cuts, splinters, or abrasions. The wood rounds appear to be quite weathered and some have crumbling wood, which may also pose a hazard if a child stood on one of the wood rounds. 3)c) There were several broken plastic buckets and toys in the sand area in the preschool playground, posing a pinch/cut hazard. 3)f) There are cubbies in the hallway near the classrooms upstairs that have not been secured to the wall to prevent tipping. 4)e) The water temperature in the handwashing sink in the bathroom for downstairs toddler room 2 was 138 degrees F. The water temperature in the bathroom handwashing sink for the mixed age classroom 2X and classroom 3 upstairs was 130 degrees F. The water temperature in the handwashing sink in the infant room 1X was 135 degrees F. The water temperature in the handwashing sink in infant room 1 was 130 degrees F. The water is too hot and poses a scalding hazard. It must be no hotter than 120 degrees F.
