26. The disinfectant in the toddler room was below 10 ppm. The disinfectant in the infant room was at 200 ppm. Keep disinfectant at 500-800 ppm ( 1/4 cup of bleach per gallon water ). Use the high chlorine test strips ( can be ordered at www.sensafe.com ). The test strip is called Water Works Free Chlorine Check Ultra High 2. Wait one full minute before reading the color on the test strip. Label the bottles to indicate that this is the strionger bleach solution for diaper stations and bathrooms. 2.0
27. The surface of the diaper station in the infant room is starting to wear ( cracks in the surface; rough spots in the surface material ). The diaper station will need to be replaced soon, because a cracked surface cannot be effectively disinfected. Also clean under the diaper mats with every diaper change. 4.0

21. Clean the vanity cainet in the toddler room. One hand sink in the infant room is cracked ( no leak ). Recaulk sinks as needed. Two out of four toilets in the downstairs bathroom are out of order. 4.0
31. The coat hangers in the after-schooler room are too close together. The hooks need to be at least 12 inches apart. Move the hooks further apart. 2.0
37. We received a complaint about mold on the walls in one of the downstairs classrooms. The 3`s room did have mold growth on wall facing the playground. The mold has been removed, the walls were painted with sealer and paint. No children were in the room while the work was done. A window air conditioner in the room above the 3`s does not have a drain. Water drips into an overflowing bucket. This contritutes to the moisture problem on that wall downstairs. Install a drain on the AC unit. Also remove the black board and check thye wall behind the black board. The carpet seams in the after-schooler room are starting to fray. The carpet at the entrance to the downstairs bathroom is coming up ( trip hazard ). The door to the HVAC room downstairs is very hard to close. Adjust the door. The flooring at the entrance to the upstairs classrooms is starting to break. The floor tiles in the upstairs classrooms are bending up along the edges ( especially in the infant room ). This leaves gaps that trap dirt and debris between the tiles. 4.0
49. Several of the wooden boards around the wood chips on the playground are warped. To avoid having to replace warped wood frequently, use composit boards or plastic sandbox enclosures. The metal play structures have rust spots. 2.0
General Comments
