The facility didnt have a written plan of scheduled activities. CCF Handbook, Section 2.6 (Section 2.1 Health and Safety, Page 3) General Requirements [SR]
Inspector notes
I advised the provider that they must follow the schedule and ensure the correct age group is posted in the classroom. During my visit to the 3- and 4-year-old class, I observed that only a 2-year-old schedule was posted. Additionally, the facility did not have a written plan of scheduled activities. As per the CCF Handbook, Section 2.6 (Section 2.1 Health and Safety, Page 3), these are requirements that need to be addressed.
