Program was observed to have clear outlet plugs in the sockets. Cording in rooms throughout was observed dangling. It appeared in some rooms the cording had been affixed to the wall and in compliance but had broke. One room also had a light table with cording. Ensure that plastic bags in restrooms are not accessible to children. Some shelving units, kitchenette sets, and CD players in rooms were not secure.

The item is no longer there but the holes are. In one room the children coat hooks appeared not to be anchored and studded so the hoook has torn out of the wall leaving large holes and chipping paint around the holes.
