| Findings: Report alleged that 10 to 15 children may have been in care at 3:30pm on Nov 7, 2018 and that the director was the only staff person present. Per the attendance record 11 children were present at that time and the director states that the aide arrives every Monday through Friday at 3pm and leaves at 5pm. She states that the aide was likely in an adjoining room doing homework with school age children at that time. The aide does not sign in and out but the owner will begin having her do so. The report is ruled uncertain. Subsequent information received after the Nov 9th inspection revealed that the aide was not at work on Nov 7th as she had a medical appt. The owner would have had 14 children in care at 3pm and 11 at 3:30pm with 9 by 4pm. The ruling is changed to confirmed. | |||
| 2018-05-30 | Conversion | 13A.16.03.02A | Corrected |
