Regulation: 3270.61(h)(2)(iii) Description: Space may not be occupied by infant or young toddler Noncompliance Area: It was observed at approximately 10:30am on the day of inspection, 18 children were present in the side room which was measured and licensed to allow for only 9 children; out of the 18 children present in that space, 4 were infants and 3 were young toddlers. Therefore, the side room's capacity was exceeded in a space where infant and young toddler children were receiving care. Correction Required: When the number of older toddler, preschool or school-age children participating in a program activity exceeds the capacity of the child care space the space may not be occupied by children of the infant or young toddler age levels. |

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Maintain the correct amount of YT and infants in that area at all times. Since the room measuring for 9 children is the room that houses our infants and YT we will never exceed the capacity in that space of 9 at any time. Children were re-arranged the day of inspection to meet the capacity requirements of each measured space. |
