I watch the children very closely during indoor and outdoor play. They are only giving safe age appropriate toys to play with. The children are loved and talked to throughout the day. I also sing songs with them and play with them too.

I will make sure all medication and other thing such as diaper cream is safely locked in the medicine cabinet. I will make sure the children are
