Higher concern: Hazardous access
- Report finding
- Buildings and Grounds (g) Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, poisons and other items that could pose a danger if readily available to children shall be stored where inaccessible to children. This requirement is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation during the facility tour, LPA found multiple "Lysol" disinfectant sprays in the 4-4.5 year old classroom. These items were not behind a lock or a latch and were kept in a cabinet which was easily accessible for the age group of children in the classroom. Additionally, there is a classroom which is not in use by children, but children go into to wash their hands. LPA found screws and a screw driver in reach of children. This all poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
