Evergreen Montessori Academy - Overlake Park (Evergreen Montessori Avademy-Overlake Park)

Observation

1) A rubbery base board in toddler 2 is lifting off on each end. 2a) many items in the toddler classroom on low shelves accessible to children were made up of small pieces that pose a choking hazard. 3a) the wooden trim along the floor in classroom 3 was chipping and splintered in several areas. 3f) Both toddler classrooms had shelving that posed a tipping hazard as they were not anchored to the wall. Each classroom has a play kitchen which also poses a tipping hazard since they are not secured to the wall. 5f) an extension cord was used for the microwave to be plugged into, which dangled over the reception wall, accessible to children along the exit pathway. This was unplugged at the time of the visit with the microwave being plugged directly into the outlet behind the microwave.
