| Findings: The staffing pattern in the 3/4 year old room is not accurate. TF is on it and she left in May. Center needs to post a new staffing pattern with a substitute listed for TF in order to maintain staff/child ratios as center has not hired a new aide yet. | |||

| Findings: Specialist was not notified of TF and JF having left employment. Director stated that LM began work a week ago and has already left employment.

Be sure to include LM's hire date and deletion date. Center is reminded that specialist needs to receive written notification of the deletion (or hire) of a staff person within 5 days of the event. Specialist was notified verbally of these deletions at this visit. | |||

| Findings: There is a broken window in the 3/4 year old classroom from a break in yesterday. It is covered by a large piece of plywood inside the classroom so children can't access it but outside the jagged glass is exposed. This window needs to be repaired immediately. The contractor was supposed to arrive yesterday but didn't. Center is hoping the person comes today. Center is advised to supervise children very closely and not allow them near the window outside. | |||

| Findings: The sink by the washer and dryer is the meal prep sink for the center. This is a designated hand washing sink and that is all that the sink should be used for.

| Findings: There was no soap at the hand washing sink for the kitchen. The nutrition aide wasn't aware that she needed to use that sink for hand washing before preparing breakfast. The lunch meal the children receive comes from the public school and all the nutrition aide has to do is scoop it into serving dishes. | |||
| 2019-09-24 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.03.03B(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: The parent sign in/out sheet for the 2/3 year old room was not accurate. A parent had taken a child home early due to pink eye and didn't sign the child out. The parent sign in/out was not accurate for the 4 year old room because a new child started and the parent didn't sign the child in. Staff need to be sure parents are signing children in and out. If a parent forgets the staff can do it and just have the parent verify upon return. | |||
