| Findings: Discussed that the provider isn't maintaining clear attendance as provider was unable to locate attendance for several months. Provider states she may have the missing attendance sheets in a pile by her desk. The provider also states that sometimes a sibling may not attend with their sibling but all siblings are together on her attendance form so it is unclear when which sibling did attend. Provider was trying to rely on her memory. The attendance charts don't have the dates listed only the month and the days of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Provider plans to start using a separate attendance sheet for each child. Provider also plans to add dates to the attendance. It is important to keep clear daily attendance for each child for each day. Please start keeping accurate daily attendance, immediately. Please forward written corrective action by October. It does appear that the parents are verifying attendance. | |||

| Findings: There are 3 children under age 2 enrolled. There was only 1 infant present today during the inspection. One of the enrolled infants is enrolled part time W, Th and F from 6 am until 2:30 pm and this infant enrolled in March; a 2nd infant also enrolled in March and is full time; a 3rd infant has been enrolled since September and will be 2 years old later this month. Provider states that this 3rd infant is in attendance from about 8:30 am until 1:30 pm. Provider reports that the 3rd infant doesn't attend regularly. When Lic.Spec. questioned the infants schedules the provider stated that usually there aren't 3 infants present at the same time. The provider couldn't be certain that all 3 infants weren't all present sometimes at the same time. The provider's attendance isn't maintained 100% of the time. Upon review of attendance for May 2018, it appears that there were at least 4 days, all Wednesdays, that there were 3 infants on site from about 9:40am until 2pm on each of these days. There may be no more than 2 children under age 2 present at any one time. Please forward written corrective action to avoid having more than 2 children under age 2 on site at any one time from now on. | |||
