2022-10-20 Mandatory Review 13A.16.08.03D(3) Corrected
Findings: When the Licensing Specialist arrived, there were 41 children in the gymnasium with only one staff member (the Site Director). Since the group included 5 preschoolers, the maximum group size shall be 30 children with 1 school-age teacher and 1 assistant or aide. After about 10 minutes had passed, an aide arrived which still did not correct the staff-to-child ratio. The staff-to-child ratio was corrected once 11 children left approximately an hour later. The Licensing Specialist advised the Site Director to contact to Area Manager (EM) to send extra staff. Immediate action needs to be taken so minimum staffing levels and maximum group size requirements are applied. Please send evidence to the Office of Child Care exhibiting that proper staff-to-child ratios are being consistently maintained.
2022-10-20 Mandatory Review 13A.16.08.07A Corrected
Findings: There were about 4 children on the spiral slide trying to go down at the same time. They were also standing up while attempting to go down the slide. Due to the insufficient staff-to-child ratio and staff not being stationed appropriately, immediate intervention could not have occurred if it had been necessary. Going forward please make sure staff members are spread out on the playground to ensure the safety of all child care children while they are playing outdoors.
2021-08-26 Full 13A.16.03.05A Corrected
