Minor
Based on interview, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above as a child sustained a minor injury from a puppy that was on site, which poses a potential health, safety, and/or personal rights risk to persons in care.
A correction plan is recorded. No state verification date is shown.
Recorded plan of correction
The puppy was removed from the premises following the incident as she determined the classroom was no longer an appropriate environment for the puppy. Moving forward, Director will ensure any additions to the facility will not compromise the health and safety of the children in care. LPA determined the actions taken by the Director following the incident is sufficient to clear the citation at the end of today’s inspection.
