Several different cleaning products throughout facility labeled "Keep out of reach of children" were stored within reach of children (less than 5 feet high and not locked). Follow manufacturer's instructions for storage of chemicals. School is closing for summer and children were not in school; teachers are cleaning the rooms to prepare to close the school and are aware their chemicals must be stored properly before children return. In 3 year old preK room, two spray bottles of chemicals unlabeled, and one labeled "Bleach Water" turned test strip orange (a color not on the chlorine disinfectant test strip chart). Ensure that chemicals are properly labeled to denote contents; it is not recommended to mix chemicals. Air fresheners observed stored on toilet paper dispensers in unlocked staff restrooms must still be stored out of reach of children as labeling instructs.
