About the Provider
Busy Bee is a supplement to the home by providing a surrounding in which children are encouraged to develop intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally under the guidance of qualified teachers. We believe each child is unique and has a right to be respected for his/her individuality. Keeping in mind the general behavioral characteristics of preschool children, we gear our educational approach to meet each child's individual emotional, social, intellectual and physical needs. Busy Bee believes the preschool child needs the support of his/her parents in all of his/her activities; for this reason we encourage cooperation between child, parent and teacher.

| Findings: The educational administrator couldn't produce copies of any past or current records for the children who are or have been enrolled in the nursery or educational program. The administrator does have the blank checklist form that she states she has used, however, the administrator states she hasn't kept copies of the educational records. The administrator states that she has given all of the completed checklists to the parents and didn't keep copies of any of the educational checklists. The administrator agreed to start keeping copies of the educational records, as well as the child care records. The records are to be maintained for all children for at least 2 years after the child dis-enrolls from the program. The administrator completed the skills checklist=performance record for the current children, on site. There will be no performance record for the past children as the performance record wasn't kept and the children are no longer enrolled. The director states that there are child care files in storage but no skill assessments/performance records. | |||

| Findings: There are no past records to review as the administrator didn't keep copies of the children's records. The current child's records were missing the date the children initially entered the educational program. The administrator did add the date the children entered the program after Lic. Spec. explained that this was needed to be maintained in the records. The checklist used to assess the educational children's performance didn't have the codes to be used or the meaning of the codes used to assess the child's performance information. Once this was discussed with the educational administrator she added the codes and their meanings. The administrator gave Lic. Spec. a copy of the codes and meanings of the codes for performance. The administrator does keep an attendance record and will need to transfer the total days each child has attended the educational program to the nursery school record at the end of this "school year" and every year after. There is no documentation from prior years according to the administrator as she has always given this documentation to the parents. There are also no records of when past children withdrew from the program. Wittig plans to keep all records. | |||
