- Report finding
- Bottles and/or sippy cups provided by the facility were not washed, rinsed, and sanitized between each use. CCF Handbook, Section 3.9.5, A
- Inspector notes
- Bottles and sippy cups brought from home shall be individually labeled with the childs first and last name and shall be returned to the custodial parent or legal guardian daily. In the 1 and 3 year old classrooms sippy cups brought from home were not labeled or only had a first name (Pictures were taken). The staff person and director were educated by the licensing counselor on the requirement for last and first names on cups and bottles brought from home. The staff person then correctly labeled the items, thus this regulation is marked back into compliance.
