Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Person 2 in Classroom BA 6 immediately moved supervision of one of her children to Person 3. With the move it gave Person 2 ten children and Person 3 eight children to supervise. This put both of the staff members in group size ratio by the age of the youngest child in accordance with the requirements in 3270.51. On 8/8/17, management presented the current Active Supervision Policy (HS-02-102) to all staff. This policy states the DHS staff to children ratios in each age level and states that when children are grouped in mixed age levels, the age of the youngest child in the group determines the staff to child ratio. Staff were also reminded of the tag system in place and the redundant supervision policies that have long been implemented. All staff involved with this incident were given verbal coaching to ensure that this violation does not happen in the future. Program Managers will be conducting daily monitors of the Active Supervision Policy to ensure the staff are following all procedures. |

In the future, maintenance will pay special attention to the fence as part of their daily playground inspection process to ensure that the fence and all its parts are safe. |

| 2017-03-20 | Renewal | 3270.124(f)/3270.181(c) - Updated every 6 months/Emergency info/agreement updated 6 mos | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Noncompliance Area: The current emergency contact forms on file for children #1, #2 and #3, the agreement on file for child #6, and the agreement and emergency contact form on file for child #7 were reviewed and updated by a parent in writing more than 6 months after the previous review. Correction Required: The parent shall update in writing emergency contact information once in a 6-month period or as soon as there is a change in the informationA parent is required to review and update the emergency contact information and the financial agreement at least once in a 6-month period or as soon as there is a change in the information. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Although all emergency contact documents and financial agreements were current at the time of inspection, a lapse in time greater than 6 months was noted between updates for 4 emergency contact documents and 2 financial agreements. To eliminate the potential for future time lapses, the Enrollment Specialist has developed and is currently implementing a corrective action that includes scheduling specific months, for specific age groups during which she will update, both emergency contact information and financial agreements. The plan is as follows: The enrollment specialist will update documentation for children enrolled in infant toddler care during the months of April and October. Documentation for children enrolled in the school age program will be updated during the months of May and November. Documentation for children enrolled in the preschool child care program will be updated every June and December. In addition, a quality control measure has been put in place that requires the Assistant to the Center Director to provide end of the month monitoring of child records via our programs data base. |

| 2017-03-20 | Renewal | 3270.131(d)(7) - Free from contagious/communicable disease | Compliant - Finalized |
|
Noncompliance Area: The health assessments on file for children #4, #5, and #8 did not include a statement that the child is able to participate in child care and appears to be free from contagious or communicable disease. Correction Required: A health report shall include a statement that the child is able to participate in child care and appears to be free from contagious or communicable disease. |
|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Those child files reviewed at inspection revealed that all child health assessments were current. DHS standards for child health assessments recently increased in stringency and no longer allow for child health records, generated in narrative form by the physician office, as acceptable since those records often do not include the specific statement that affirms that the child is able to participate in child care and appears to be free from contagious or communicable disease. Three corrective actions have been taken to correct this violation. First, the health manger has generated a letter to all community pediatricians that explains the need to provide child health assessment information on the DHS form that does contain the required statement. Next an additional half sheet has been attached to the child health assessment form that is given to parents when the childs physical is coming due. The half sheet, printed on orange paper, in addition to reminding the parent to schedule a well child check, also strongly emphasizes the importance of having the record of the child physical documented on the DHS form which includes physician confirmation for the above mentioned required statement. Third, when a child health assessment is received and does not include physician confirmation for the required statement, the enrollment specialist has generated a form which she faxes to the doctor's office referencing the most recent physical and requesting confirmation of the required statement. Copies of all supporting documentation will be sent to DHS inspector. |

Correction Required: A source of running water for handwashing shall be present in infant and toddler diapering areas.

|||
|
Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) The provider specifically designed the diapering and meal space in the Infant and Young Toddler room to avoid cross contamination by having two separate sinks for each of the two groups of children. One sink in each area was designated as the sink for handwashing related to diapering. One sink in each area was designated as the sink for handwashing related to all other sanitation needs. The diapering area was never used for food preparation or food service. To meet the DHS inspectors expectations for stricter separation of the meal and diapering areas, the Infant Toddler space was rearranged to include a completely separate diapering space that is gated off from the rest of the classroom. The two groups of 4 children will share the diapering space as well as meal space, play space and a separate area for sleeping/napping. |
