| Findings: The center has a site director and an aide. The aide left the room with a few children and left the site director alone with 16 children. Both of them then went into the gym with 16 children, the doorbell rang and three more children arrived. The aide came back into the cafeteria and got the three children again leaving the site director alone with 16 children. The ratio is 1:15 and the aide is never to be alone with children. This happened several times each time leaving the site director alone with more than 15 children. The gym is straight down the hall passed the cafeteria. The staff need to arrange their schedule so that this does not continue to happen. | |||
