Inspection/Report History

Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Inspection Date Reason Description Status
2020-02-12 Renewal 3270.124(b)(7) - Name/address/phone release person Compliant - Finalized

Noncompliance Area: The Emergency Contact Form in the files for Child #1 did not include the addresses for the release persons.

Correction Required: Emergency contact information must include the name, address and telephone number of the individual designated by the parent to whom the child may be released.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
The emergency contact form for student 1 was missing the address for one of the release persons. At the time of enrollment the family did not know the release person's address and was not able to contact them while enrolling the student. The family forgot to provide the information for the release person and the building staff overlooked the missing information. In the future the coordinator will require all addresses and phone numbers at enrollment. If a family does not have the appropriate information we will not allow them to add the person to the form until they are able to provide the all required information.
2020-02-12 Renewal 3270.151(a)/3270.192(3) - 12 months prior to service and every 24 months thereafter/Health assessment, TB test Compliant - Finalized

Noncompliance Area: The initial health assessment in the file for Staff Person #2 was conducted after the staff person's first day providing child care. The most recent health assessment in the file for Staff Person #2 is current. The initial TB screening in the file for Staff Person #2 was conducted more than 12 months prior to the staff person's first day providing child care and is not valid.

Correction Required: A facility person providing direct care who comes into contact with the children or who works with food preparation shall have a health assessment conducted within 12 months prior to providing initial service in a child care setting and every 24 months thereafter. A health assessment is valid for 24 months following the date of signature, if the person does not contract a communicable disease or develop a medical problem. A facility person's record shall include a written report of initial and subsequent health assessments, including the results of initial and subsequent tuberculin skin tests, x-rays or other medical documentation necessary to confirm freedom from communicable tuberculosis.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Staff member 2's Staff physical was completed outside of the 24 month requirement as well as having a TB that was completed over 12 months prior to her working in the Child Development Program. We contract with an agency to provide staff physicals biannually once a staff member is hired. These physicals are conducted once a year in August on one of our in-service days, however given the date of hire for some staff they may exceed the 24 month requirement if they wait till our physical day. In the future the child development supervisor will require staff to complete their biannual physical in the summer of the year they are hired, if waiting until the following summer session of physicals will place them out of compliance. Staff member 2's TB test was completed over 12 months prior the staff member being hired to work with the Child Development Program. In the future the child development supervisor we will also monitor all staff TB tests to be sure they are no older than 12 months at the time they begin working with the Child Development program, regardless of the employees status with the school district prior to hire date with child development. Staff Person 2 will provide a current TB Screening and it will be placed in her file. In the future no staff member will be permitted to work in the child development setting if their physical and TB do not meet the state requirements.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Staff person 1 did not have their NSOR Certificate on file within the allotted provisional hire waiver period, although the staff member had applied for the NSOR months prior. The supervisor of child development had thought because the staff member could show they applied for the NSOR in a timely fashion and because they were not left alone with children she would be okay, given there was an issue with the timely response on NSOR's part. The staff was immediately placed on unpaid leave until the NSOR certificate was received. In the future the child development supervisor will closely monitor any staff member hired date in accordance to their 45 day waiver making sure no staff member working under the waiver is left alone with children. If a staff member does not receive their NSOR certificate with the the 45 day waiver the staff member will be placed on unpaid leave until they receive their certificate.
